Explanatory Note

On April 15, 2006, the Companys Audit Committee, acting on a recommendation from the Companys management, determined that the Companys unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
as of and for the quarters ended June 30, 2005 and September 30, 2005 should be restated to revise the accounting and related disclosures for net revenues, cost of revenues, gross profit, net loss, basic and diluted loss per common share,
accounts receivable, production masters, film library, accrued expenses, and stockholders equity . The impact of the restatements on the quarter ended September 30, 2005 is further discussed in Note 2 to the unaudited condensed
consolidated financial statements included herein.

This amendment is being filed for the purpose of amending and restating Items 1, 2 and 4 of Part I and
Item 6 of Part II of the Form 10-Q originally filed solely to the extent necessary (i) to reflect the restatement of the Companys unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the period ended September 30,
2005, as described in Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements, (ii) to make revisions to Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations as warranted by the
restatement, (iii) to make revisions to Item 4 of Part I to reflect our evaluation of controls and procedures as of the date of filing of this amendment, (iv) to include the certifications required by the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002,
and (v) to update the exhibits.

This Amendment No. 1 to Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is as of the date of the Form 10-Q originally filed,
except for material subsequent events more fully described in Note 2 to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This report includes forward-looking statements within the meaning of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995 relating to, among other things, our goals, plans and projections regarding our financial
position, results of operations, market position, product development and business strategy. These statements may be identified by the use of words such as will, may, estimate, expect,
intend, plan, believe, should, would, could or the negative of these terms and other terms of similar meaning in connection with any discussion of future operating or financial
performance. All forward-looking statements are based on our current views with respect to future events, are based on assumptions and involve inherent risks and uncertainties, including factors that could delay, divert or change any of them, and
could cause action outcomes and results to differ materially from current expectations. Also, these forward-looking statements present our estimates and assumptions only as of the date of this report.

These factors include, among other things, our inability to raise additional working capital, changes in debt and equity markets, increased competitive pressures,
changes in our business plan, and changes in the retail DVD and entertainment industries. For further details and a discussion of these and other risks and uncertainties, see Forward-Looking Statements and Risk Factors in our
most recent Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. Unless otherwise required by law, we undertake no obligation to publicly update any forward- looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future events or otherwise.

GENIUS PRODUCTS, INC.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(UNAUDITED)

NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION AND
SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Genius Products, Inc. (Genius, on a parent-only basis, and we or our on a
Consolidated basis), incorporated under the laws of the State of Delaware in 2004, is headquartered in Solana Beach, California. We are an entertainment company, which together with our wholly owned subsidiaries, American Vantage Media Corporation
(AVMC) and Wellspring Media, Inc (Wellspring), produce, publish and distribute films, videos and music on digital video discs (DVDs), compact discs (CDs), and to a smaller extent, videos
(VHS) and the new Universal Media Disc (UMD) under a variety of branded and, non-branded names. Our products are sold at retail outlets nationwide, and, to a very small extent, internationally, either through distributors or
through retailers that we sell to directly.

INTERIM FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and, therefore, do not include all information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for a complete set of financial statements.
These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included in Genius Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended
December 31, 2004. In the opinion of management, the unaudited financial information for the interim periods presented reflects all adjustments necessary for a fair statement of the results for the periods presented, with such adjustments
consisting only of normal recurring adjustments. Operating results for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of operating results for an entire fiscal year.

The financial statements as of and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2004 were restated in an amendment to Form 10-QSB filed on December 23, 2004.

PRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Genius Products, Inc., its wholly owned subsidiary
American Vantage Media Corporation, also referred to herein as AVMC (and its wholly owned subsidiary Wellspring Media, Inc.) which was acquired on March 21, 2005 (Note 6), as well as Sanuk Corporation (which is inactive).

BUSINESS ACQUISITIONS. We account for our business acquisitions as a purchase, whereby the purchase price is allocated to the assets acquired and liabilities assumed
based on their estimated fair value. The excess of the purchase price over estimated fair value of the net identifiable assets is allocated to goodwill. Determining the fair value of assets and liabilities requires various assumptions and estimates.

REVENUE RECOGNITION. Revenues from the sale of video and audio products are recorded upon the shipment of goods or in certain circumstances at the time of
delivery, depending on the terms of the contract. Costs of sales and an allowance for returns are also recorded at the time of shipment. The allowance for returns calculation is based upon an analysis of historical customer and product returns
performance as well as current customer inventory data as available. Updates to the returns calculation is performed quarterly. Sales made under consignment or guaranteed sales arrangements are not recognized as net revenue until such time that cash
is received for the sale and release of return liability is confirmed by the customer. Revenues from the theatrical release of feature films are recognized at the time of exhibition based on our participation with box office receipts.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE. The allowance for doubtful accounts and provision for sales returns includes managements estimate of the amount expected to be lost or
returned on specific accounts and for losses or returns on other as yet unidentified accounts included in accounts receivable. In estimating the allowance component for unidentified losses and returns, management relies on historical experience and
takes into account current information obtained from retailers including retail sell-through data and retail inventory data as available. The amounts we will ultimately realize could differ materially in the near term from the amounts assumed in
arriving at the allowance for doubtful accounts and provision for sales returns in the accompanying financial statements.

CONCENTRATIONS OF CREDIT RISK.
For the three month period ended September 30, 2005, Wal-Mart and Anderson Merchandisers accounted for 37.2% and 12.0% of net revenues, respectively. For the three month period ended September 30, 2004, Dollar Tree, 99 Cents Only Stores
and Target comprised 26.6%, 13.1% and 10.9%, respectively, of net revenues.

##### Table of Contents

For the nine month period ended September 30, 2005, Wal-Mart and Anderson Merchandisers accounted for 20.8% and
12.3% of net revenues. For the nine month period ended September 30, 2004, Target and Dollar Tree comprised 25.1% and 24.4%, respectively, of net revenues.

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentration of credit risk consist primarily of temporary cash investments and trade receivables. We restrict investment of temporary cash investments to financial institutions with
investment grade credit ratings. We provide credit in the normal course of business to customers located throughout the United States. We perform ongoing credit evaluations of our customers, generally do not require collateral and maintain
allowances for potential credit losses which, when realized, have been within the range of managements expectations.

INVENTORIES. Inventories
consist of raw materials and finished goods and are valued at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined on a first-in-first-out method of valuation. We regularly monitor inventory for excess or obsolete items and make any valuation corrections
when such adjustments are needed.

GOODWILL. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price over the fair value of identified tangible and intangible
assets recorded in connection with the acquisition of AVMC (Note 6) and will be reviewed annually for impairment, or between the annual tests if an event occurs or circumstances change that indicate it is more-likely-than-not that the fair value of
a reporting unit is less than its carrying value. We will perform our annual impairment test as of December 31 in each fiscal year.

LONG-LIVED
ASSETS. Property and equipment purchases are recorded at cost and are depreciated and amortized over the estimated useful lives of the assets (three to seven years generally) using the straight-line method. Music production masters are stated at
cost net of accumulated amortization. Costs incurred for music production masters, including licenses to use certain classical compositions, royalties, and recording and design costs are capitalized and amortized over a three or seven year period
using the straight line method from the time a title is initially released, consistent with the estimated timing of revenue for a title.

We capitalize the
costs of production and acquisition of film libraries. Costs of production include costs of film and tape conversion to DLT master format, menu design, authoring and compression. These costs are amortized to direct operating expenses in accordance
with Statement of Position (SOP) 00-2, Accounting by Producers or Distributors of Films, using the individual film forecast method over a period of ten years. Costs are stated at the lower of unamortized film costs or
estimated fair value. Films classified as part of a library have an initial release date of more than three years prior to the acquisition of the film. For acquired film libraries, ultimate revenue includes estimates over a period not to exceed ten
years. Management regularly reviews and revises when necessary its ultimate revenue and cost estimates, which may result in a change in the rate of amortization of film costs and/or a write-down of all or a portion of the unamortized costs of the
library to its estimated fair value. No assurances can be given that unfavorable changes to revenue and cost estimates will not occur, which may result in significant write-downs affecting our results of operations and financial condition. The
unamortized library costs and production masters at September 30, 2005 was approximately $19.9 million. All exploitation costs, including print and advertising (P&A) costs associated with our theatrical department, are expensed as incurred.

Patents and trademarks covering a number of our products are being amortized on a straight-line basis over 5 to 17 years.

Long-lived assets, including goodwill, are reviewed annually for impairment and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset
may not be recoverable. Impairment is necessary when the undiscounted cash flows estimated to be generated by the asset are less than the carrying amount of the asset.

INCOME TAXES. We estimate the actual current tax liability together with assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatments of items for tax and accounting purposes. These differences result in
deferred tax assets and liabilities. The provision for income taxes during interim quarterly reporting periods is based on our estimate of the annual effective tax rate for the full fiscal year. We must then assess the likelihood that our deferred
tax assets will be recovered from future taxable income. To the extent that we believe that recovery is not likely, we must establish a valuation allowance. Significant management judgment is required in determining the provision for income taxes,
deferred tax assets and liabilities and any valuation allowance recorded against net deferred tax assets. We have recorded a full valuation allowance on our net deferred tax asset balances for all periods presented because of uncertainties related
to utilization of deferred tax assets. At such time as it is determined that it is more likely than not that the deferred tax assets are realizable, the valuation allowance will be reduced.

The Company has net operating loss (NOL) carry-forwards that can be utilized to offset future taxable income. In certain
cases there are limitations on the amount of taxable income which can be offset by NOL carryforwards after a change in control (generally greater than 50% change in ownership) of a loss corporation. California has similar rules. Generally, after a
change, a loss corporation cannot deduct NOL carryforwards in excess of the annual limitations. Due to these change in ownership provisions, utilization of the NOL and tax credit carryforwards may be subject to an annual limitation
regarding their utilization against taxable income in future periods.

LOSS PER SHARE. Genius computes net income (loss) per share in accordance with
Statement of Financial Accounting Standard No. 128, Earnings Per Share (SFAS 128). Under the provisions of SFAS 128, basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the
weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) for the period by the weighted-average number of common and dilutive common equivalent shares
outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share include the potentially dilutive effect of outstanding stock options and other dilutive securities. The Company has a net loss for the periods presented; accordingly, the inclusion of common
stock equivalents for outstanding stock options would be anti-dilutive and therefore the weighted-average shares used to calculate both basic and diluted loss per share are the same.

STOCK-BASED COMPENSATION. We measure compensation cost related to stock and stock options issued to employees using the intrinsic method of accounting prescribed by Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25
(APB 25), Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees, and related interpretations.

Had compensation cost for our stock option plan been
determined based on the fair value at the grant dates for awards under this plan consistent with the method prescribed by Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) 123, Accounting for Stock-based Compensation as

NOTE 2: RESTATEMENT OF QUARTER ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005

The Company determined that it was necessary to restate our unaudited consolidated financial statements and other financial information at and for the
quarters ended, June 30 and September 30, 2005. The restatement relates to the following correction of errors:

1. The Company revised
theatrical revenue to decrease the amount recognized during the three months September 30, 2005. The total adjustment required to decrease theatrical revenue to its proper amount was $251,603 for the three months ended September 30, 2005.
This adjustment was necessary because the Company had accrued this amount of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2005 for film rental earned but not billed during that period and, therefore, overstated theatrical revenue by this amount
in the three months ended September 30, 2005. The correct accounting treatment is to reverse this accrual during the three months ended September 30, 2005 to properly state theatrical revenue.

2. The Company revised royalty expense to increase the amount recognized during the three month period ended September 30, 2005. The total adjustment required to
increase royalty expense to its proper amount was $74,311 for the three month period ended September 30, 2005. This adjustment was necessary because the Company had recorded this amount as an asset as of September 30, 2005. The correct
accounting treatment is to record this amount as royalties expense during the three month period ended September 30, 2005.

3. The Company revised
production cost amortization expense to increase the amount recognized during the three month period ended September 30, 2005. The total adjustment required to increase production costs amortization expense to its proper amount was $41,474 for
the three month period ended September 30, 2005. This adjustment was necessary because the Company had recorded this amount as an asset as of September 30, 2005 when the amount should have been expensed under SOP 00-2. The correct
accounting treatment is to record this amount as expense during the three month period ended September 30, 2005.

The effects of the restatement on
net revenues, cost of revenues, gross profit, net loss, basic and diluted loss per common share, accounts receivable production masters, film library, accrued expenses, and stockholders equity as of and for the quarter ended September 30,
2005 are as follows:

PRIVATE PLACEMENTS

On March 2, 2005, we entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors related to the private placement of 6,518,987 shares of our common stock, par value $0.0001 per share, and
five-year warrants to purchase 1,303,797 shares of Common Stock, half at an exercise price of $2.56 per share and half at an exercise price of $2.78 per share. The fair value of these warrants was estimated as $1,392,231 using the Black-Scholes
model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected volatility of 60%, risk free interest of 4%, an expected life of five years and no expected dividends. The transaction closed on March 3, 2005 and we realized gross proceeds of
$10.3 million from the financing before deducting commissions and other expenses. Offering costs related to the transaction totaled $2,086,971 comprised of $718,589 cash payments for legal and investment services, $350,000 for 162,037 shares of
stock valued at $2.16 per share issued for investment services and 782,279 warrants, half at an exercise price of $2.56 and half at an exercise price of $2.78, valued at $1,014,986. The value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes
model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected volatility of 60%, risk free interest of 4%, an expected life of five years and no dividends. We agreed to register for resale the shares of Common Stock issued in the private placement
and shares issuable upon exercise of warrants. Such registration statement became effective on May 11, 2005.

In May 2005, we entered into a
securities purchase agreement with certain institutional investors related to the private placement of 3,000,000 shares of our common stock and five-year warrants to purchase 270,000 shares of our common stock at an exercise price of $2.56 per
share. The fair value of these warrants was estimated as $270,959 using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected volatility of 68%, risk free interest of 4%, an expected life of five years and no expected
dividends. The transaction closed on May 20, 2005, and we realized gross proceeds of $5.25 million from the financing, before deducting commissions and other expenses. Offering costs related to the transaction totaled $236,577 comprised of cash
payments for legal and investment services.

NOTE 7: ACQUISITION OF AVMC

On March 21, 2005, we completed our acquisition of American Vantage Media Corporation (AVMC), a subsidiary of American Vantage Companies (AVC). The acquisition was completed through an
Agreement and Plan of Merger (Merger Agreement) which provided for the issuance to AVC of (i) 7,000,000 shares of our common stock valued at $2.27 per share and (ii) warrants to purchase 1,400,000 shares of our common stock,
half at an exercise price of $2.56 per share and half at an exercise price of $2.78 per share, plus our assumption of approximately $6.3 million in debt of AVMC. The fair value of these warrants was estimated as $1,596,482 using the Black-Scholes
model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected volatility of 60%, risk free interest of 4.2%, an expected life of five years and no expected dividends. The purchase price is approximated by using the average closing market price of
our common stock over the two-day period

$2.78, for $71,842. The value of the warrants was estimated using the Black-Scholes model with the following weighted average assumptions: expected volatility of 60%, risk free interest of 4.2%, an expected life of five years and no dividends.

(collectively, the Investors). Under the Purchase Agreement, the Investors loaned a total of $4.0 million to Genius in exchange for (i) promissory notes in favor of the Investors (the Notes) with a total principal
balance of $4.0 million and (ii) five-year warrants (Warrants) to purchase a total of 280,000 shares of Genius common stock, par value $0.0001 per share (Common Stock), with an exercise price per share equal to
$1.88 (the last reported sales price of Genius Common Stock, as reported by the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, on the initial closing date of October 5, 2005).

The Notes do not bear any interest, and all outstanding principal is due and payable in full on March 3, 2006 (the first business day that is 150 days after the initial closing date). Genius may prepay all or any
portion of the Notes without premium or penalty. Genius has the option on the maturity date to convert all, but not less than all, of the principal balance due under each Note into Common Stock. If the loans are not repaid in full on March 3,
2006, then the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of each Note is equal to the outstanding principal balance due under a Note divided by $1.00.

Pursuant to separate financing commitment letters, Genius has the option (but not the obligation) to borrow up to an additional $4.0 million in one or more subsequent closings under the Purchase Agreement. In that
regard, under such financing commitment letters, the Investors have agreed to loan Genius up to an additional $4.0 million in the aggregate as requested by Genius under certain conditions. The Investors financing commitment remains effective
until, and may be drawn by Genius on, November 14, 2005, assuming that there has not occurred since September 30, 2005 a material adverse event involving Genius. Any additional loans drawn upon by Genius and Warrants issued in connection
therewith shall be in the forms of Notes and Warrants, respectively, provided for in the Purchase Agreement. The number of warrant shares to be issued in any subsequent closing will be 70,000 shares for each $1 million in loans actually funded (with
the number of shares prorated for any portion thereof).

Genius is obligated to register the shares of Common Stock issuable upon (i) exercise of the
Warrants and (ii) conversion of the Notes, if any, for resale on a Form S-3 registration statement within 30 days after Genius is eligible to use a Form S-3 registration statement. If Genius has not filed a Form S-3 registration statement on or
before January 31, 2006 and has not otherwise included the registrable securities in another registration statement, then Genius shall, no later than March 3, 2006, file with a registration statement, on such form which Genius is then
eligible to use, covering the resale of all of the registrable securities. Failure to file a registration statement within the required timeframes will result in the payment of liquidated damages to the Investors an amount in cash equal to 1.0% of
the aggregate purchase price paid by the Investors pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, each of the Investors
agreed not to, directly or indirectly, sell, effect any short sale, seek to hedge its position or otherwise effect any transaction with respect to Geniuss Common Stock until January 30, 2006.

Prior to the transaction, there were no material relationships between Genius and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Investors and their affiliates, on the other
hand, except that affiliated with JLF Asset Management, LLC and Bonanza Master Fund, Ltd. beneficially own more than 5% of Genius Common Stock.

OVERVIEW

We are an entertainment company that produces, publishes and distributes films, videos and music on digital video discs (DVDs), compact discs (CDs), and to a smaller extent, videos (VHS) and the new
Universal Media Disc (UMD) under a variety of branded and, non-branded names. Our products are sold at retail outlets nationwide, and either through distributors or through retailers that we sell to directly. Our business in the third
quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2005 includes revenues from four major sources, as follows:



| |  |  | Sales of branded proprietary and licensed DVDs and VHS (69% and 60% of gross revenues for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2005);
| | - |  | ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Sales of branded proprietary and licensed music audio CDs and cassettes (15% and 18% of gross revenues for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2005); and
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Sales of non-branded value DVDs and music CDs (11% and 14% of gross revenues for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2005).
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------



| |  |  | Sales of theatrical and other (5% and 8% of gross revenues for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2005).
| | - |  | ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Revenues from royalties, licensing and other revenue fluctuated for the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2005 due to the
discontinuation of our sales of jewelry in the fourth quarter 2004 and by royalties earned from Wellspring titles as a result of the AVMC acquisition.

Consistent with other retail product distributors, we experience some degree of sales seasonality, which has been further impacted by our acquisition of American Vantage Media Corporation (AVMC) in March
2005. Excluding the impact of the acquisition of AVMC, our second quarter (period ending June 30) is typically the lowest sales period and our fourth quarter the highest. We have also historically experienced higher returns during the first two
quarters than during the last two quarters. However, our historic changes in revenues may not be indicative of future trends and may not track industry seasonality norms. In addition, we are currently placing a higher focus on our branded and
proprietary business and less of a focus on non-branded, value priced products compared to prior years, which transition may also affect the fluctuation in our quarterly results.

We do not report our different product lines as segments because we do not allocate our resources among product lines nor do we measure performance by
product line. We do not maintain discrete financial information regarding product lines. Our chief operating decision maker receives financial information taken as a whole. Our sales, marketing and product development efforts among our different
product lines are supported by one integrated group of individuals. Additionally, our warehousing costs also reflect support of all product lines and as such cannot be segmented.

On March 21, 2005, we completed our acquisition of American Vantage Media Corporation (AVMC), a subsidiary of American Vantage Companies
(AVC). The acquisition was completed through an Agreement and Plan of Merger (Merger Agreement) which provided for the issuance to AVC of (i) 7,000,000 shares of our common stock valued at $2.27 per share and
(ii) warrants to purchase 1,400,000 shares of our common stock, half at an exercise price of $2.56 per share and half at an exercise price of $2.78 per share, plus our assumption of approximately $6.3 million in debt of AVMC.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES

There have been no
significant changes in the critical accounting policies disclosed in Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-KSB. The preparation of
our financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported. The significant areas requiring the use of managements estimates relate to provisions for lower of cost or market inventory write
downs, doubtful accounts receivables, unrecouped royalty fee advances, and sales returns and allowances. Although these estimates are based on managements knowledge of current events and actions management may undertake in the future, actual
results may ultimately differ materially from those estimates.

RESTATEMENT OF QUARTER AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005

The Company determined that it was necessary to restate our unaudited consolidated financial statements and other financial information at and for the
quarters ended September 30, 2005. The restatement relates to the following correction of errors:

1. The Company revised theatrical revenue to
decrease the amount recognized during the three months September 30, 2005. The total adjustment required to decrease theatrical revenue to its proper amount was $251,603 for the three months ended September 30, 2005. This adjustment was
necessary because the Company had accrued this amount of revenue for the three months ended June 30, 2005 for film rental earned but not billed during that period and, therefore, overstated theatrical revenue by this amount in the three months
ended September 30, 2005. The correct accounting treatment is to reverse this accrual during the three months ended September 30, 2005 to properly state theatrical revenue.

2. The Company revised royalty expense to increase the amount recognized during the three month period ended September 30, 2005. The total adjustment required to increase royalty expense to its proper amount was
$74,311 for the three month period ended September 30, 2005. This adjustment was necessary because the Company had recorded this amount as an asset as of September 30, 2005. The correct accounting treatment is to record this amount as
royalties expense during the three month period ended September 30, 2005.

3. The Company revised production cost amortization expense to increase the
amount recognized during the three month period ended September 30, 2005. The total adjustment required to increase production costs amortization expense to its proper amount was $41,474 for the three month period ended September 30, 2005.
This adjustment was necessary because the Company had recorded this amount as an asset as of September 30, 2005 when the amount should have been expensed under SOP 00-2. The correct accounting treatment is to record this amount as expense
during the three month period ended September 30, 2005.

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS FOR THE THREE AND NINE MONTHS ENDED SEPTEMBER 30, 2005 AND 2004

The discussion below reflects the restated balances for the quarter and six months ended September 30, 2005.

Revenues:

Video and DVD revenues for the
third quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were composed of sales of branded and proprietary products including branded classic movies and television shows on DVD as well as non-branded classic movies and television shows on
DVD, and Wellspring titles from AVMC. Video revenues increased $2.9 million and $3.6 million during the third quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $8.1 million and $13.3 million, as compared to $5.2 million and $9.7 million
during the comparable prior year periods. These increases from 2004 were due to the addition of revenues from AVMC, which we acquired on March 22, 2005, and increased revenues from Genius and branded products during the same periods.

Theatrical revenues were composed of sales generated from film rental by our theatrical subsidiary, Wellspring Media Inc. Theatrical
revenues increased to $0.5 million and $0.9 million for the third quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2005, compared to zero for the comparable prior year periods.

Audio revenues for the third quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2005 were composed of Baby Genius, Kid Genius, licensed music CDs,
interactive music programs, and non-branded, value music products sold at an entry level price point at retail. Audio revenues increased $1.2 million and $1.9 million during the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $1.6
million and $3.4 million, as compared to $0.4 million and $1.4 million during the comparable prior year periods. These increases were attributable to higher sales of the Baby Genius and licensed music product and continued sales of the non-branded,
value music products and Lifestyles Music Program that were introduced in the fourth quarter of 2004.

Royalties, licensing and other
revenues were composed of royalties from licensing fees from Wellspring Media, Inc, and the license of our Baby Genius brand name. Royalties, licensing and other revenues decreased $0.2 million and increased $0.2 million during the third quarter and
the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $0.1 million and $0.6 million, as compared to $0.3 million and $0.4 million during the comparable prior year periods. The changes resulted from a decrease in royalties related to the licensing of our
Baby Genius brand name, offset by an increase in licensing revenues from our acquisition of AVMC on March 22, 2005.

##### Table of Contents

As a result of the foregoing, total gross revenues increased $4.4 million and $6.7 million during the
third quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2005, to $10.2 million and $18.2 million as compared to $5.8 million and $11.5 million during the comparable prior year periods, due primarily to increased sales of video and audio products
as discussed above.

Sales returns, discounts and allowances increased $1.2 million and $2.3 million during the third quarter and the nine
months ended September 30, 2005 to $2.1 million and $3.5 million, as compared to $0.8 million and $1.3 million during the comparable prior year periods. These increases resulted primarily from the acquisition of AVMC on March 22, 2005 as
well as additional markdowns and higher returns from sales. Additionally, there has been an industry trend towards an increasing percentage of returns for the sale of DVDs. The provision for sales returns and allowances is calculated in
accordance with historical averages and industry changes, but may vary in the future based on customer and product mix.

Net revenues
increased $3.1 million and $4.4 million during the third quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $8.2 million and $14.6 million as compared to $5.0 million and $10.2 million during the comparable prior year periods, due to the
increase in sales of DVD and the acquisition of AVMC, offset in part by an increase in sales returns and allowances as described above. During the third quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2005, two customers accounted for 10% or
more of gross revenues. Wal-Mart and Anderson accounted for 39% and 13% of net revenues for the third quarter ended September 30, 2005, and 23% and 14% of net revenues for the nine months ended September 30, 2005, respectively.

Costs and expense:

Cost of Sales:

Cost of sales consists primarily of the cost of products sold to customers, packaging and shipping costs, amortization of production masters, and
royalties paid on sales of licensed products. For analytical purposes we review amortization of production masters as a stand-alone cost element and discuss the aggregate cost of producing, packaging, and shipping of the audio, DVD, and royalty,
licensing and other products. Generally cost of sales increased as a result of the increased sales.

Video and DVD cost of sales increased
$0.4 million and $1.7 million during the third quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $4.0 million and $8.4 million, as compared to $3.6 million and $6.7 million during the comparable prior periods. These increases resulted
from an increase in video and DVD sales, partially due to the addition of AVMC into our video and DVD product mix in the third quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2005, and inventory write-offs for VHS tapes during the second
quarter which impacted the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

Theatrical cost of sales, were composed primarily of print and
advertising costs related to sales generated from film rental by our theatrical subsidiary, Wellspring Media Inc., increased $0.5 million and $1.7 million during the third quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $0.5 million and
$1.7 million, as compared to zero during the comparable prior periods. Theatrical P&A during the third quarter and nine months ended September 30, 2005 included significant expenditures on the release of titles such as Palindromes,
Kings & Queens, Wild Side, and The Beat My Heart Skipped. These expenditures can vary from period to period, often in advance of associated revenues.

Audio cost of sales increased $0.5 million and $1.5 million during the third quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2005 to $0.6 million and $2.1 million, as compared to $0.1 million and $0.6 million
during the comparable prior periods. The increase in cost of sales was due to the higher audio sales during the third quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2005.

Amortization of production masters and film library increased $0.3 million and $1.3 million during the third quarter and the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 to $0.6 million and $1.8 million, as compared to $0.2 million and $0.4 million during the comparable prior periods. The increase in amortization of production masters and film library is primarily the result of the
acquisition of AVMC, as well as an increase in amortization of the production masters due to the development of our library.

Operating Expense:

Product development expenses increased slightly during the third quarter and increased by $0.1 million during the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 to $0.3 million and $0.7 million, as compared to $0.2 million and $0.6 million during the comparable prior periods. The increases were attributed to the addition of new titles into our libraries.

##### Table of Contents

Sales and marketing expenses were effectively flat during the third quarter and the nine months ended
September 30, 2005 as compared to the comparable prior periods. Prior to its acquisition by Genius, AVMC significantly reduced its sales and marketing expense. Although the acquisition of AVMC resulted in higher sales to Genius, the current
revenue levels are significantly below the prior year, due in part, to the lack of resources dedicated to sales and marketing. The Company intends to increase sales and marketing expense in 2006 to support revenue increases.

General and administrative expenses increased by $1.4 million and $3.7 million during the third quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2005
to $2.4 million and $6.5 million, as compared to $1.0 million and $2.9 million during the comparable prior periods. These increases were primarily due to increased payroll, rent, and utilities as a result of the acquisition of AVMC, as well as, to
increased transaction costs related to certain initiatives. Additional expenses include increased insurance, accounting and legal costs associated with the larger combined entity.

Restructuring expenses were incurred during the third quarter ended September 30, 2005 relating to the Companys decision to reorganize its
executive management and terminate an exclusive agreement with a financial advisor.

Interest expense of $0.1 million during the third
quarter ended September 30, 2005 was consistent with the comparable prior period. Interest expense decreased by $0.3 million during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 as compared to the comparable prior period. The decrease resulted
from the payoff of notes payable in the fourth quarter of 2004, partially offset by an increase in interest expense related to the $4.0 million notes payable acquired with AVMC. Interest expense is expected to increase in the future as a result of
the short term notes executed subsequently to the end of the third quarter ended September 30, 2005.

As result of the foregoing, the
net loss increased $2.9 million and $8.3 million during the third quarter and the nine months ended September 30, 2005, to $3.9 million and $11.4 million as compared to $0.9 million and $3.0 million during the comparable prior periods.
Excluding the impact of the Restructuring, the net loss for the third quarter ended September 30, 2005 would have been $1.1 million as compared to $0.9 million in the comparable prior period.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Net cash used in
operations during the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $13.9 million, primarily due to the net loss of $11.4 million, certain transition costs related to AVMC and decreases in accounts payable, partially offset by increases in accounts
receivable. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, net cash used in operations was 4.1 million, driven primarily by the net loss of $3.0 million.

Net cash provided by investing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2005, was $0.2 million, primarily attributed to net cash received from the AVMC acquisition, offset by the purchase of property and
equipment. For the nine months ended September 30, 2004, net cash used in investing activities was $0.2 million, which was primarily due to the purchase of property and equipment.

Cash provided from financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2005 was $12.8 million, primarily resulting from the sale of our
common stock in private equity placements in March and May of 2005 and cash received from the exercise of stock options and warrants. Cash received was partially offset by payments on short term debt and offering costs. For the nine months ended
September 30, 2004, cash provided by financing activities was $6.3 million, primarily driven by a private equity placement.

At
September 30, 2005, we had a cash balance of $0.3 million and net accounts receivable of $5.6 million. On October 4, 2005, Genius obtained a $4.0 million loan as discussed below. In early October 2005 we received and shipped a $7 million
order to one customer and the resulting receivable is expected to be collected near the end of November. The $4.0 million notes, from our AVMC acquisition, are due in February 2006. Based on these facts and expected cash proceeds from future
operations, we may or may not raise additional capital or obtain further loans using all our assets including our film library as collateral within the next twelve months. Although we believe that our expanded product line offers us the opportunity
for significantly improved operating results in future quarters, no assurance can be given that we will operate on a profitable basis, as such performance is subject to numerous variables and uncertainties, many of which are out of our control.

On October 4, 2005, Genius entered into a Note and Warrant Purchase agreement with a group of investors (collectively, the
Investors). Under the Purchase Agreement, the Investors loaned a total of $4.0 million to Genius in exchange for (i) promissory notes in favor of the Investors (the Notes) with a total principal balance of $4.0 million
and (ii) five-year warrants (Warrants) to purchase a total of 280,000 shares of Genius common stock, par value $0.0001 per

share (Common Stock), with an exercise price per share equal to $1.88 (the last reported sales price of Genius Common Stock, as reported by
the Over the Counter Bulletin Board, on the initial closing date of October 5, 2005).

The Notes do not bear any interest, and all
outstanding principal is due and payable in full on March 3, 2006 (the first business day that is 150 days after the initial closing date). Genius may prepay all or any portion of the Notes without premium or penalty. Genius has the option on
the maturity date to convert all, but not less than all, of the principal balance due under each Note into Common Stock. If the loans are not repaid in full on March 3, 2006, then the number of shares of Common Stock issuable upon conversion of
each Note is equal to the outstanding principal balance due under a Note divided by $1.00.

Pursuant to separate financing commitment
letters, Genius has the option (but not the obligation) to borrow up to an additional $4.0 million in one or more subsequent closings under the Purchase Agreement. In that regard, under such financing commitment letters, the Investors have agreed to
loan Genius up to an additional $4.0 million in the aggregate as requested by Genius under certain conditions. The Investors financing commitment remains effective until, and may be drawn by Genius on, November 14, 2005, assuming that
there has not occurred since September 30, 2005 a material adverse event involving Genius. Any additional loans drawn upon by Genius and Warrants issued in connection therewith shall be in the forms of Notes and Warrants, respectively, provided
for in the Purchase Agreement. The number of warrant shares to be issued in any subsequent closing will be 70,000 shares for each $1 million in loans actually funded (with the number of shares prorated for any portion thereof).

Genius is obligated to register the shares of Common Stock issuable upon (i) exercise of the Warrants and (ii) conversion of the Notes, if any,
for resale on a Form S-3 registration statement within 30 days after Genius is eligible to use a Form S-3 registration statement. If Genius has not filed a Form S-3 registration statement on or before January 31, 2006 and has not otherwise
included the registrable securities in another registration statement, then Genius shall, no later than March 3, 2006, file with a registration statement, on such form which Genius is then eligible to use, covering the resale of all of the
registrable securities. Failure to file a registration statement within the required timeframes will result in the payment of liquidated damages to the Investors an amount in cash equal to 1.0% of the aggregate purchase price paid by the Investors
pursuant to the Purchase Agreement.

In connection with the Purchase Agreement, each of the Investors agreed not to, directly or
indirectly, sell, effect any short sale, seek to hedge its position or otherwise effect any transaction with respect to Geniuss Common Stock until January 30, 2006.

Prior to the transaction, there were no material relationships between Genius and its affiliates, on the one hand, and the Investors and their
affiliates, on the other hand, except that affiliated with JLF Asset Management, LLC and Bonanza Master Fund, Ltd. beneficially own more than 5% of Genius Common Stock.

|ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
|------- | ----------------------------------------------------------

As of September 30, 2005, our cash and cash equivalents were invested with financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. Due to the short duration of our investment portfolio and the high quality of our investments, an
immediate 10% change in interest rates would not have a material effect on the fair market value of our portfolio. Therefore, we would not expect our operating results or cash flows to be affected to any significant degree by the effect of a sudden
change in market interest rates on our investment portfolio.

We do not enter into hedging or derivative instrument arrangements.

|ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
|------- | -----------------------

We maintain disclosure
controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 is recorded,
processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the rules and forms of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our
Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding the required disclosures. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, we recognize that any controls and procedures, no
matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.

As of the end of
the period covered by this report, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and
operation of our disclosure controls and procedures. In making this evaluation, our management considered the matters relating to the restatement of our financial statements for the quarter ended September 30, 2005, and the material weaknesses
discussed below. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level as of September 30, 2005.

In response to the identified material weaknesses, we have remedied the specific accounting policies and procedures which led to the incorrect journal
entries requiring restatement. We have established additional policies and enhanced the procedures that we will follow with respect to the identification of relevant revenue and expense recognition issues. Since the Company is no longer in the
theatrical business, we do not expect that the type of adjustment discussed in Note 2 above will recur.

We have disclosed in previous
reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (i) a complaint filed against our new subsidiary American Vantage Media Corporation and Wellspring Media, Inc. in U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Delaware by the Chapter 7
Trustee of the Winstar Communications, Inc. Estate, and (ii) a possible rescission offer in Washington State. There have been no material developments in these matters. For a complete description of the facts and circumstances surrounding the
Winstar litigation, see the disclosures in our Annual Report on Form 10-KSB for the year ended December 31, 2004 under Item 3. Legal Proceedings, which are incorporated by reference herein.

In October, 2005 Genius commenced litigation against Falcon Picture Group, LLC (Falcon) in the Superior Court of San Diego County, Case No.
GIN047884 seeking damages of $975,000 arising out of Falcons breach of the license agreement. In October, 2005, Falcon commenced litigation against Genius in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Illinois, Case No. 05H16850 (the
Illinois Proceeding), based upon allegations, among other things, that Genius breached the terms of a license agreement by refusing to pay certain royalties to which Falcon supposedly was entitled. Falcon seeks a damages award of
approximately $83,332 subject to proof at trial. Falcon further alleges that as a result of Genius purported default under the license agreement, Falcon is entitled to a judgment declaring the license agreement to have been lawfully
terminated. Although Genius has not yet responded to the complaint in the Illinois Proceeding, Genius plans to vigorously defend against the allegations thereof.

We are a party to routine litigation incidental to our business, none of which is likely to have a material adverse effect on us.
