NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
 
1. BUSINESS ACTIVITY AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
 
Asset Acquisition and Name Change. On December 1, 2016, Majesco Entertainment Company (the “Company”) entered into an agreement to acquire the assets of PolarityTE, Inc., (the "Seller"), a regenerative medicine company. The asset acquisition was subject to shareholder approval, which was received on March 10, 2017. In January, 2017, the Company changed its name to “PolarityTE, Inc.”
 
At closing, upon satisfaction of each of the closing conditions, the Seller will be issued 7,050 shares of the Company’s newly authorized Series E Preferred Stock (the “Preferred Shares”) convertible into an aggregate of 7,050,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, expected to constitute approximately 40% of the issued and outstanding common stock of the Company on a fully diluted basis at closing and depending in part, upon the Company’s expected cash balance at closing.
 
On December 1, 2016, the Company hired Dr. Denver Lough as Chief Executive Officer, Chief Scientific Officer and Chairman of our Board of Directors and Dr. Ned Swanson as Chief Operating Officer of the Company. Until their hiring both doctors were associated with Johns Hopkins University, Baltimore, Maryland, as full time residents.
 
The doctors lead the Company’s current efforts focused on scientific research and development and in this regard on December 1, 2016, the Company leased laboratory space and purchased laboratory equipment in Salt Lake City, Utah. Subsequent expenditures during January 2017 include approximately $1.4 million for the purchase of medical equipment, including microscopes for high end real-time imaging of cells and tissues required for tissue engineering and regenerative medicine research. The Company has added additional facilities, and established university and scientific relationships and collaborations in order to pursue its business. None of these activities were performed by Dr. Lough or Dr. Swanson prior to December 1, 2016 in connection with their university positions or privately.
 
Dr. Lough is the named inventor under a pending patent application for a novel regenerative medicine and tissue engineering platform filed in the United States and elsewhere. The Company believes that its future success depends significantly on its ability to protect its inventions and technology. Accordingly, the Company is seeking to acquire the pending patent application. Prior to December 1, 2016 no employees, consultants or partners engaged in any business activity related to the patent application and no licenses or contracts were granted related to the patent application, other than professional services related to preparation and filing of the patent. On December 1, 2016 Dr. Lough assigned the patent application as well as all related intellectual property to a newly-formed Nevada corporation, PolarityTE, Inc. (“Polarity NV”), and the Company entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) with Polarity NV and Dr. Lough.
 
As a result, at closing, the patent application would be owned by the Company without the need for further assignments or recordation with the Patent Trademark Office.
 
There was never any intent to acquire an ongoing business and no ongoing business was acquired. The asset is preserved in a stand-alone entity merely as a vehicle to provide the Company a seamless means to acquire the asset (a patent application) without undue cost, expense and time. Polarity NV has never had employees and therefore no employees will be acquired in the transaction.
 
The Company adopted ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805), Clarifying the Definition of a Business, during the first quarter of fiscal 2017.  In accordance with ASU 2017-01 we analyzed the above transaction as follows:
 
Step 1 - Is substantially all the fair value of the gross assets acquired concentrated in a single (group of similar) identifiable asset(s)? – The Company has a proposal to acquire a single intellectual property asset and no employees on the acquisition date. 
 
 
-5-
POLARITYTE, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)
 
 
Step 2 - Evaluate whether an input and a substantive process exists?  Does the set have outputs? – The set does not yet have outputs, as Polarity NV’s intellectual property does not generate any revenue. Without outputs, the set requires employees that form an organized workforce with skills, knowledge, or experience to perform an acquired process that is critical to the ability to create outputs to qualify as a business. Polarity NV never has had any employees or workforce.  On December 1, 2016, prior to any Polarity NV acquisition, the Company hired Denver Lough as its Chief Executive and Chief Scientific Officer and Edward Swanson as Chief Operating Officer (“COO”).  Both of these executives were employed full-time by Johns Hopkins University and were not employed by Polarity NV. In December 2016, the Company established a clinical advisory board and added three members in December 2016 and three more in January 2017. Establishing the clinical advisory board and hiring a COO are critical to establishing at the Company for the first time a workforce that has the knowledge and experience to obtain regulatory approval of the Company’s intellectual property. Therefore, the proposal to acquire an intellectual property asset and no employees from Polarity NV on the acquisition date would not represent an organized workforce with the necessary skills and experience to create outputs that would be acquired from Polarity NV upon its ultimate acquisition date, following approval by stockholders and satisfaction of other conditions precedent to closing, which will not occur until at least March 2017.
 
General. The accompanying consolidated financial statements present the financial results of PolarityTE, Inc. and its wholly owned United Kingdom subsidiary. The inactive U.K. subsidiary was dissolved during the year ended October 31, 2016.
 
Segments. The Company's operations involve dissimilar products which are managed separately. Accordingly, it operates in two segments: 1) video games and 2) regenerative medicine.
 
Video Games
 
The Company is a provider of video game products primarily for the casual-game consumer and has published video games for interactive entertainment hardware platforms, including Nintendo’s DS, 3DS, Wii and WiiU, Sony’s PlayStation 3 and 4, or PS3 and PS4, Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Xbox One and the personal computer, or PC. The Company sells its products through digital distribution.
 
The Company’s video game titles are targeted at various demographics at a range of price points. Due to the larger budget requirements for developing and marketing premium console titles for core gamers, the Company has focused on publishing lower-cost games targeting casual-game consumers and independent game developer fans. In some instances, the Company’s titles are based on licenses of well-known properties and, in other cases, original properties. The Company enters into agreements with content providers and video game development studios for the creation of its video games.
 
The Company currently has no plans or understandings to discontinue or divest its current existing software business although the Company has received inquiries from prospective purchasers of various assets and the business. The Company may determine to dispose of such business in whole or in part, or discontinue such business, and may reevaluate from time to time although presently 4 employees continue to be employed in direct activities related to such software business and administration and the Company is continuing to generate revenue from its sales of digital online games. The Company is diversifying its business model in an attempt to mitigate risk associated with focusing on one industry and increase the overall value of the Company for its shareholders.

Regenerative Medicine
 
Through its regenerative medicine efforts, the Company is developing the proprietary tissue engineering platform invented by Dr. Denver Lough to translate regenerative products into clinical application. Preliminarily, the technological platform has demonstrated the potential capacity to grow fully functional tissue across the entire spectrum of the musculoskeletal and integumentary systems, including skin, muscle, bone, cartilage, peripheral nerve, fat, and fascia. Preliminary results indicate it has applications across solid organ and specialty tissue regeneration as well, including bowel, liver, kidney, and urethra. The product furthest in the development pipeline is an autologous (tissue from the patient themselves) skin regeneration construct, SkinTETM, to regenerate fully functional skin with all of its layers, including epidermis, dermis, hypodermis, and all appendages including hair and glands. SkinTETM is preparing for clinical testing and market entry, and targeting a global wound care market of $40 billion. The platform provides a pipeline of products to follow in parallel, with plans for serial clinical and market entry, and each addressing separate and similarly sized potential markets. The Company’s approach seeks to benefit from fewer regulatory and capital barriers to market entry, avoiding the long timelines associated with three phase trials and their associated costs seen with other competing technologies and therapeutics. The regenerative medicine business model being pursued takes advantage of the smaller regulatory hurdles, with streamlined product development from cell/tissue in vitro and ex vivo testing, to small and large animal preclinical models, manufacturing technology transfer, and ultimately clinical application and market entry occurring in a mapped out stepwise fashion for each product. Although skin regeneration and wound care is a robust market in and of itself, the platform technology provides a base that the Company believes will support a strategy to build a company that can diversify and grow continuously.
 
NASDAQ listing. On January 6, 2017, PolarityTE, Inc., was notified by The NASDAQ Stock Market, LLC of failure to comply with Nasdaq Listing Rule 5605(b)(1) which requires that a majority of the directors comprising the Company’s Board of Directors be considered “independent”, as defined under the Rule. The notice has no immediate effect on the listing or trading of the Company’s common stock on The NASDAQ Capital Market and, at this time, the common stock will continue to trade on The NASDAQ Capital Market under the symbol “COOL”.
 
On February 22, 2017, the Company regained compliance with Listing Rule 5605(b)(1), the independent director requirement for continued listing on The NASDAQ Stock Market, with the appointment of Mr. Steve Gorlin and Dr. Jon Mogford, and that the matter is now closed. PolarityTE’s common stock will continue to be listed on The NASDAQ Capital Market.
 
Major customers. Microsoft, Sony, and Valve accounted for 40%, 26%, and 21%, respectively, of sales for the three months ended January 31, 2017. Microsoft, Sony, Valve and Nintendo accounted for 37%, 26%, 15% and 14%, respectively, of sales for the quarter ended January 31, 2016. Sony and Microsoft accounted for 44% and 35%, respectively, of accounts receivable as of January 31, 2017.
 
 Concentrations.  The Company develops and distributes video game software for proprietary platforms under licenses from Nintendo, Sony and Microsoft, which must be periodically renewed. The Company’s agreements with these manufacturers also grant them certain control over the Company’s products. In addition, for the three months ended January 31, 2017 and 2016 sales of the Company’s Zumba Fitness games accounted for approximately 17% and 10% of net revenues, respectively.
 
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company are unaudited, but in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for the interim period. Accordingly, they do not include all information and notes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. The Company’s financial results are impacted by the seasonality of the retail selling season and the timing of the release of new titles. The results of operations for interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire fiscal year. The balance sheet at October 31, 2016 has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America for complete financial statements. These interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the year ended October 31, 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on Form 10-K on December 30, 2016.

2. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
 
Principles of Consolidation.  The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned subsidiary located in the United Kingdom. The subsidiary was dissolved during the year ended October 31, 2016. Significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
 
Revenue Recognition. Since July 2015 when retail distribution activities were transferred and retail sales ceased, the Company's software products are sold exclusively as downloads of digital content for which the consumer takes possession of the digital content for a fee. Revenue from product downloads is generally recognized when the download is made available (assuming all other recognition criteria are met).
 
Prior to July 2015, when the Company entered into license or distribution agreements that provided for multiple copies of games in exchange for guaranteed amounts, revenue was recognized in accordance with the terms of the agreements, generally upon delivery of a master copy, assuming our performance obligations were complete and all other recognition criteria were met, or as per-copy royalties are earned on sales of games.
 
Cash and cash equivalents.  Cash equivalents consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of three months or less at the date of purchase. At various times, the Company has deposits in excess of the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation limit. The Company has not experienced any losses on these accounts.
 
Accounts Receivable and Accounts Payable and Accrued Expenses. The carrying amounts of accounts receivable and accounts payable and accrued expenses approximate fair value as these accounts are largely current and short term in nature.
 
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts. The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on accounts receivable for estimated probable losses. The allowance is based on historical experiences, current aging of accounts, and other expected future write-offs, including specific identifiable customer accounts considered at risk or uncollectible. Any related expense associated with an allowance for doubtful accounts is recognized as general and administrative expense. As of January 31, 2017 and 2016, there was no allowance for doubtful accounts.
 
Capitalized Software Development Costs and License Fees. Software development costs include fees in the form of milestone payments made to independent software developers and licensors. Software development costs are capitalized once technological feasibility of a product is established and management expects such costs to be recoverable against future revenues. For products where proven game engine technology exists, this may occur early in the development cycle. Technological feasibility is evaluated on a product-by-product basis. Amounts related to software development that are not capitalized are charged immediately to product research and development costs. Commencing upon a related product’s release, capitalized costs are amortized to cost of sales based upon the higher of (i) the ratio of current revenue to total projected revenue or (ii) straight-line charges over the expected marketable life of the product.
 
Prepaid license fees represent license fees to owners for the use of their intellectual property rights in the development of the Company’s products. Minimum guaranteed royalty payments for intellectual property licenses are initially recorded as an asset (prepaid license fees) and a current liability (accrued royalties payable) at the contractual amount upon execution of the contract or when specified milestones or events occur and when no significant performance remains with the licensor. Licenses are expensed to cost of sales at the higher of (i) the contractual royalty rate based on actual sales or (ii) an effective rate based upon total projected revenue related to such license. Capitalized software development costs and prepaid license fees are classified as non-current if they relate to titles for which the Company estimates the release date to be more than one year from the balance sheet date.

The amortization period for capitalized software development costs and prepaid license fees is usually no longer than one year from the initial release of the product. If actual revenues or revised forecasted revenues fall below the initial forecasted revenue for a particular license, the charge to cost of sales may be larger than anticipated in any given quarter. The recoverability of capitalized software development costs and prepaid license fees is evaluated quarterly based on the expected performance of the specific products to which the costs relate. When, in management’s estimate, future cash flows will not be sufficient to recover previously capitalized costs, the Company expenses these capitalized costs to “cost of sales-software development costs and license fees,” in the period such a determination is made. These expenses may be incurred prior to a game’s release for games that have been developed. If a game is cancelled prior to completion of development and never released to market, the amount is expensed to operating costs and expenses. If the Company was required to write off licenses, due to changes in market conditions or product acceptance, its results of operations could be materially adversely affected.
 
Costs of developing online free-to-play social games, including payments to third-party developers, are expensed as research and development expenses. Revenue from these games is largely dependent on players’ future purchasing behavior in the game and currently the Company cannot reliably project that future net cash flows from developed games will exceed related development costs.
 
Prepaid license fees and milestone payments made to the Company’s third party developers are typically considered non-refundable advances against the total compensation they can earn based upon the sales performance of the products. Any additional royalty or other compensation earned beyond the milestone payments is expensed to cost of sales as incurred.
 
Property and Equipment.  Property and equipment is stated at cost. Depreciation and amortization is being provided for by the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the assets, generally five years. Amortization of leasehold improvements is provided for over the shorter of the term of the lease or the life of the asset.
 
Income Taxes.  The Company accounts for income taxes under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company evaluates the potential for realization of deferred tax assets at each quarterly balance sheet date and records a valuation allowance for assets for which realization is not more likely than not.
 
Stock Based Compensation. The Company measures all stock-based compensation to employees using a fair value method and records such expense in general and administrative expenses. Compensation expense for stock options with cliff vesting is recognized on a straight-line basis over the vesting period of the award, based on the fair value of the option on the date of grant. For stock options with graded vesting, the Company recognizes compensation expense over the service period for each separately vesting tranche of the award as though the award were in substance, multiple awards.
 
The fair value for options issued is estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes option-pricing model. The risk-free rate is derived from the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of the grant. The volatility factor is determined based on the Company’s historical stock prices.
 
The value of restricted stock grants are measured based on the fair market value of the Company's common stock on the date of grant and amortized over the vesting period of, generally, six months to three years.
 
Loss Per Share. Basic loss per share of common stock is computed by dividing net loss attributable to common stockholders by the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding for the period. Diluted loss per share excludes the potential impact of common stock options, unvested shares of restricted stock and outstanding common stock purchase warrants because their effect would be anti-dilutive due to our net loss.

Commitments and Contingencies.  We are subject to claims and litigation in the ordinary course of our business. We record a liability for contingencies when the amount is both probable and reasonably estimable. We record associated legal fees as incurred. We accrued contingent liabilities for certain potential licensor and customer liabilities and claims that were transferred to Zift but may not be extinguished by such transaction.
 
Accounting for Warrants.  The Company accounts for the issuance of common stock purchase warrants issued in connection with the equity offerings in accordance with the provisions of ASC 815, Derivatives and Hedging (“ASC 815”).  The Company classifies as equity any contracts that (i) require physical settlement or net-share settlement or (ii) gives the Company a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in its own shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement).  The Company classifies as assets or liabilities any contracts that (i) require net-cash settlement (including a requirement to net-cash settle the contract if an event occurs and if that event is outside the control of the Company) or (ii) gives the counterparty a choice of net-cash settlement or settlement in shares (physical settlement or net-share settlement). In addition, under ASC 815, registered common stock warrants that require the issuance of registered shares upon exercise and do not expressly preclude an implied right to cash settlement are accounted for as derivative liabilities.  The Company classifies these derivative warrant liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as a current liability.
 
Change in Fair Value of Warrant Liability. The Company assessed the classification of common stock purchase warrants as of the date of each offering and determined that certain instruments met the criteria for liability classification. Accordingly, the Company classified the warrants as a liability at their fair value and adjusts the instruments to fair value at each reporting period. This liability is subject to re-measurement at each balance sheet date until the warrants are exercised or expired, and any change in fair value is recognized as “change in fair value of warrant liability” in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. The fair value of the warrants has been estimated using a Black-Scholes valuation model (see Note 7).
 
Reverse stock-split. On July 27, 2016, Majesco Entertainment Company (the “Company”) filed a certificate of amendment (the “Amendment”) to its Restated Certificate of Incorporation with the Secretary of State of the State of Delaware in order to effectuate a reverse stock split of the Company’s issued and outstanding common stock, par value $0.001 per share on a one (1) for six (6) basis, effective on July 29, 2016 (the “Reverse Stock Split”).
 
The Reverse Stock Split was effective with The NASDAQ Capital Market (“NASDAQ”) at the open of business on August 1, 2016. The par value and other terms of Company’s common stock were not affected by the Reverse Stock Split. The Company’s post-Reverse Stock Split common stock has a new CUSIP number, 560690 406. The Company’s transfer agent, Equity Stock Transfer LLC, acted as exchange agent for the Reverse Stock Split.
 
As a result of the Reverse Stock Split, every six shares of the Company’s pre-Reverse Stock Split common stock was combined and reclassified into one share of the Company’s common stock. No fractional shares of common stock were issued as a result of the Reverse Stock Split. Stockholders who otherwise would be entitled to a fractional share shall receive a cash payment in an amount equal to the product obtained by multiplying (i) the closing sale price of our common stock on the business day immediately preceding the effective date of the Reverse Stock Split as reported on NASDAQ by (ii) the number of shares of our common stock held by the stockholder that would otherwise have been exchanged for the fractional share interest.
 
All common share and per share amounts have been restated to show the effect of the Reverse Stock Split.
 
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 or the disclosure of gain or loss contingencies at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Among the more significant estimates included in these financial statements are the recoverability of advance payments for capitalized software development costs and intellectual property licenses, the valuation of warrant liability, and the valuation allowances for deferred tax benefits. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements
  
In August 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties about an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern (“ASU No. 2014-15”) that will require management to evaluate whether there are conditions and events that raise substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern within one year after the financial statements are issued on both an interim and annual basis. Management will be required to provide certain footnote disclosures if it concludes that substantial doubt exists or when its plans alleviate substantial doubt about the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. The Company adopted ASU No. 2014-15 and its adoption did not have a material impact on the Company’s financial statements.
 
Recent Accounting Pronouncements.
 
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB”) issued an Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") creating a new Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which broadly establishes new standards for the recognition of certain revenue and updates related disclosure requirements. The update becomes effective for the Company on November 1, 2018. The Company is reviewing the potential impact of the statement on its financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
 
In February 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which supersedes FASB ASC Topic 840, Leases (Topic 840)   and provides principles for the recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure of leases for both lessees and lessors. The new standard requires lessees to apply a dual approach, classifying leases as either finance or operating leases based on the principle of whether or not the lease is effectively a financed purchase by the lessee. This classification will determine whether lease expense is recognized based on an effective interest method or on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease, respectively. A lessee is also required to record a right-of-use asset and a lease liability for all leases with a term of greater than twelve months regardless of classification. Leases with a term of twelve months or less will be accounted for similar to existing guidance for operating leases. The standard is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted upon issuance. When adopted, the Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact on our financial statements.
 
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations. The purpose of ASU No. 2016-08 is to clarify the implementation of guidance on principal versus agent considerations. For public entities, the amendments in ASU No. 2016-08 are effective for interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently assessing the impact of ASU No. 2016-08 on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
 
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. Under ASU No. 2016-09, companies will no longer record excess tax benefits and certain tax deficiencies in additional paid-in capital (“APIC”). Instead, they will record all excess tax benefits and tax deficiencies as income tax expense or benefit in the income statement and the APIC pools will be eliminated. In addition, ASU No. 2016-09 eliminates the requirement that excess tax benefits be realized before companies can recognize them. ASU No. 2016-09 also requires companies to present excess tax benefits as an operating activity on the statement of cash flows rather than as a financing activity. Furthermore, ASU No. 2016-09 will increase the amount an employer can withhold to cover income taxes on awards and still qualify for the exception to liability classification for shares used to satisfy the employer’s statutory income tax withholding obligation. An employer with a statutory income tax withholding obligation will now be allowed to withhold shares with a fair value up to the amount of taxes owed using the maximum statutory tax rate in the employee’s applicable jurisdiction(s). ASU No. 2016-09 requires a company to classify the cash paid to a tax authority when shares are withheld to satisfy its statutory income tax withholding obligation as a financing activity on the statement of cash flows. Under current U.S. GAAP, it was not specified how these cash flows should be classified. In addition, companies will now have to elect whether to account for forfeitures on share-based payments by (1) recognizing forfeitures of awards as they occur or (2) estimating the number of awards expected to be forfeited and adjusting the estimate when it is likely to change, as is currently required. The amendments of this ASU are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, with early adoption permitted but all of the guidance must be adopted in the same period. The Company is currently assessing the impact that ASU No. 2016-09 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.

In April 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-10, Revenue from Contracts with Customer. The new guidance is an update to ASC 606 and provides clarity on: identifying performance obligations and licensing implementation. For public companies, ASU No.  2016-10 is effective for annual periods, including interim periods within those annual periods, beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company is currently evaluating the impact that ASU No. 2016-10 will have on its condensed consolidated financial statements.
 
 In January 2017, the FASB issued an ASU 2017-01, Business Combinations (Topic 805) Clarifying the Definition of a Business. The amendments in this Update is to clarify the definition of a business with the objective of adding guidance to assist entities with evaluating whether transactions should be accounted for as acquisitions (or disposals) of assets or businesses. The definition of a business affects many areas of accounting including acquisitions, disposals, goodwill, and consolidation. The guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those periods. The Company adopted this guidance effective November 1, 2016.

 Series A Preferred Shares
 
The Series A Preferred Shares are convertible into shares of common stock based on a conversion calculation equal to the stated value of such Series A Preferred Share, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, on such Series A Preferred Share, as of such date of determination, divided by the conversion price. The stated value of each Preferred Share is $0.68 and the initial conversion price is $4.08 per share, each subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, combinations, subdivisions or other similar events. In addition, in the event the Company issues or sells, or is deemed to issue or sell, shares of its common stock at a per share price that is less than the conversion price then in effect, the conversion price shall be reduced to such lower price, subject to certain exceptions. Pursuant to the Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of the 0% Series A Convertible Preferred Stock of PolarityTE, Inc., the Company is prohibited from incurring debt or liens, or entering into new financing transactions without the consent of the lead investor (as defined in the December Subscription Agreements) as long as any of the Series A Preferred Shares are outstanding. The Series A Preferred Shares bear no dividends.
 
The holders of Series A Preferred Shares shall vote together with the holders of common stock on all matters on an as if converted basis, subject to certain conversion and ownership limitations, and shall not vote as a separate class. Notwithstanding the foregoing, the conversion price for purposes of calculating voting power shall in no event be lower than $3.54 per share. At no time may all or a portion of the Series A Preferred Shares be converted if the number of shares of common stock to be issued pursuant to such conversion would exceed, when aggregated with all other shares of common stock owned by the holder at such time, the number of shares of common stock which would result in such Holder beneficially owning (as determined in accordance with Section 13(d) of the 1934 Act and the rules thereunder) more than 4.99% of all of the common stock outstanding at such time; provided, however, that the holder may waive the 4.99% limitation at which time he may not own beneficially own more than 9.99% of all the common stock outstanding at such time.
 
The Series A Preferred Shares do not represent an unconditional obligation to be settled in a variable number of shares of common stock, are not redeemable and do not contain fixed or indexed conversion provisions similar to debt instruments. Accordingly, the Series A Preferred Shares are considered equity hosts and recorded in stockholders’ equity.
 
The Company entered into separate Registration Rights Agreements with each Series A Preferred Shares Investor, (as amended on January 30, 2015 and March 31, 2015, the “December Registration Rights Agreement”). The Company agreed to use its best efforts to file by March 31, 2015 a registration statement covering the resale of the shares of common stock issuable upon exercise or conversion of the Series A Preferred Shares and to maintain its effectiveness until all such securities have been sold or may be sold without restriction under Rule 144 of the Securities Act. In the event the Company fails to satisfy its obligations under the December Registration Rights Agreements, the Company is required to pay to the Investors on a monthly basis an amount equal to 1% of the investors’ investment, up to a maximum of 12%. On March 31, 2015, the Company and the required holders of Series A Preferred Shares amended the registration rights agreement to extend the filing deadline for the registration statement to June 30, 2015.

Series B Preferred Shares
 
The Series B Preferred Shares are convertible into shares of common stock based on a conversion calculation equal to the stated value of such Series B Preferred Shares, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, on such Series B Preferred Shares, as of such date of determination, divided by the conversion price. The stated value of each Preferred Share is $140.00 and the initial conversion price is $8.40 per share, each subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, combinations, subdivisions or other similar events. The Company is prohibited from effecting a conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, such holder would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series B Preferred Shares, which beneficial ownership limitation may be increased by the holder up to, but not exceeding, 9.99%.  Subject to such beneficial ownership limitations, each holder is entitled to vote on all matters submitted to stockholders of the Company on an as converted basis, based on a conversion price of $8.40 per shares.  The Series B Preferred Shares rank junior to the Series A Preferred Shares and bear no dividends. All of the convertible preferred shares do not represent an unconditional obligation to be settled in a variable number of shares, are not redeemable and do not contain fixed or indexed conversion provisions similar to debt instruments. Accordingly, the convertible preferred shares are considered equity hosts and recorded in stockholders’ equity.
 
Series C Preferred Shares
 
The Series C Preferred Shares are convertible into shares of common stock based on a conversion calculation equal to the stated value of such Series C Preferred Shares, plus all accrued and unpaid dividends, if any, on such Series C Preferred Shares, as of such date of determination, divided by the conversion price.  The stated value of each Series C Preferred Share is $120.00 per share, and the initial conversion price is $7.20 per share, each subject to adjustment for stock splits, stock dividends, recapitalizations, combinations, subdivisions or other similar events.  In addition, in the event the Company issues or sells, or is deemed to issue or sell, shares of common stock at a per share price that is less than the conversion price then in effect, the conversion price shall be reduced to such lower price, subject to certain exceptions and provided that the conversion price may not be reduced to less than $5.16, unless and until such time as the Company obtains shareholder approval to allow for a lower conversion price.  The Company is prohibited from effecting a conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, such May Investor would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the number of shares of common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of common stock upon conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares, which beneficial ownership limitation may be increased by the holder up to, but not exceeding, 9.99%.  Subject to the beneficial ownership limitations discussed previously, each holder is entitled to vote on all matters submitted to stockholders of the Company, and shall have the number of votes equal to the number of shares of common stock issuable upon conversion of such holder’s Series C Preferred Shares, based on a conversion price of $7.80 per share.  The Series C Preferred Shares bear no dividends and shall rank junior to the Company’s Series A Preferred Shares but senior to the Company’s Series B Preferred Shares.
 
In connection with the sale of the Series C Preferred Shares, the Company also entered into separate registration rights agreements (the “May Registration Rights Agreement”) with each Investor. The Company agreed to use its best efforts to file a registration statement to register the Shares and the common stock issuable upon the conversion of the Series C Preferred Shares, within thirty days following the Closing Date, to cause such registration statement to be declared effective within ninety days of the filing day and to maintain the effectiveness of the registration statement until all of such shares of common stock have been sold or are otherwise able to be sold pursuant to Rule 144 without restriction.  In the event the Company fails to satisfy its obligations under the Registration Rights Agreement, the Company is obligated to pay to the Investors on a monthly basis, an amount equal to 1% of the Investor’s investment, up to a maximum of 12%. Effective as of the original filing deadline of the registration statement, the Company obtained the requisite approval from the Investors for the waiver of its obligations under the May Registration Rights Agreement.
 
The Company evaluated the guidance ASC 480-10 Distinguishing Liabilities from Equity and ASC 815-40 Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity to determine the appropriate classification of the instruments. The Series C Preferred Shares do not represent an unconditional obligation to be settled in a variable number of shares of common stock, are not redeemable and do not contain fixed or indexed conversion provisions similar to debt instruments. Accordingly, the Series C Preferred Shares are considered equity hosts and recorded in stockholders’ equity.

The Company is prohibited from effecting a conversion of the Preferred D Shares to the extent that, as a result of such conversion, such investor would beneficially own more than 4.99% of the number of shares of Common Stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to the issuance of shares of Common Stock upon conversion of the Preferred D Shares. Upon 61 days written notice, the beneficial ownership limitation may be increased by the holder up to, but not exceeding, 9.99%.

April 2016 Registered Common Stock and Warrant Offering
 
On April 13, 2016, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors providing for the issuance and sale by the Company of 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share at an offering price of $6.00 per share, for net proceeds of $1.4 million after deducting placement agent fees and expenses. In addition, the Company sold to purchasers of common stock in this offering, warrants to purchase 187,500 shares of its common stock. The common shares and the Warrant Shares were offered by the Company pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 22, 2015 and declared effective on December 7, 2015. The closing of the offering occurred on April 19, 2016.
 
Each Warrant is immediately exercisable for two years, but not thereafter, at an exercise price of $6.90 per share. Subject to limited exceptions, a holder of warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of its warrants if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.  The exercise price and number of warrants are subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividends and splits, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction. The Warrants were classified as liabilities and measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in other expenses (income). The initial recognition of the Warrants resulted in an allocation of the net proceeds from the offering to a warrant liability of approximately $318,000, with the remainder being attributable to the common stock sold in the offering.

7. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS
 
In accordance with ASC 820, Fair Value Measurements, financial instruments were measured at fair value using a three-level hierarchy which maximizes use of observable inputs and minimizes use of unobservable inputs:
 
 ●
Level 1:
Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical instruments
 ●
Level 2:
Quoted prices for similar instruments that are directly or indirectly observable in the market
 ●
Level 3:
Significant unobservable inputs supported by little or no market activity.  Financial instruments whose values are determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, for which determination of fair value requires significant judgment or estimation.
 
In connection with the April 19, 2016 common stock offering, the Company issued warrants to purchase an aggregate of 187,500 shares of common stock.  These warrants are exercisable at $6.90 per share and expire on April 19, 2018. These warrants were analyzed and it was determined that they require liability treatment. Under ASC 815, registered common stock warrants that require the issuance of registered shares upon exercise and do not expressly preclude an implied right to cash settlement are accounted for as derivative liabilities.  The Company classifies these derivative warrant liabilities on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as a current liability.
 
The fair value of these warrants at January 18, 2017 and October 31, 2016 was determined to be approximately $78,000 and $70,000, respectively, as calculated using Black-Scholes with the following assumptions: (1) stock price of $3.62 and $3.58, respectively; (2) a risk-free rate of 0.97% and 0.75%, respectively; and (3) an expected volatility of 68% and 61%, respectively.
 
Financial instruments measured at fair value are classified in their entirety based on the lowest level of input that is significant to the fair value measurement. At January 31, 2017, there was no warrant liability balance.

The value of stock option grants is amortized over the vesting period of, generally, one to three years. As of January 31, 2017, there was approximately $4.0 million of unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock option awards, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average vesting period of 2.0 years.

 $3.65
 
 During the three months ended January 31, 2017, the Company granted 733,000 restricted shares to employees and non-employees. 283,000 were issued to non-employees during the quarter, with the remaining 450,000 expected to be issue at a future date.
 
The weighted-average fair value of restricted shares granted during the three months ended January 31, 2017 was $3.16. The total fair value of restricted stock granted during the three months ended January 31, 2017 was approximately $2.3 million.
 
The value of restricted stock grants are measured based on their fair value on the date of grant and amortized over the vesting period of, generally, six months to three years. As of January 31, 2017, there was approximately $539,000 of unrecognized compensation cost related to unvested restricted stock awards, which is expected to be recognized over a remaining weighted-average vesting period of 0.3 years.
  
9. INCOME TAXES
 
Due to the Company’s history of losses and uncertainty of future taxable income, a valuation allowance sufficient to fully offset net operating losses and other deferred tax assets has been established. The valuation allowance will be maintained until sufficient positive evidence exists to support a conclusion that a valuation allowance is not necessary. The Company’s effective tax rate for the three months ended January 31, 2017 and 2016 differed from the expected U.S. federal statutory rate primarily due to the change in the valuation allowance. Full conversion of the outstanding shares of Preferred Stock will likely result in limitations on the utilization of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards under IRS section 382.
 
10. LOSS PER SHARE
 
Shares of common stock issuable under convertible preferred stock, warrants and options and shares subject to restricted stock grants were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per common share for the three months ended January 31, 2017 and 2016, as the effect of their inclusion would be anti-dilutive.

11. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
 
Contingencies
 
On February 26, 2015, a complaint for patent infringement was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas by Richard Baker, an individual residing in Australia, against Microsoft, Nintendo, the Company and a number of other game publisher defendants. The complaint alleges that the Company’s Zumba Fitness Kinect game infringed plaintiff’s patents in motion tracking technology. The plaintiff is representing himself pro se in the litigation and is seeking monetary damages in the amount of $1.3 million. The Company, in conjunction with Microsoft, is defending itself against the claim and has certain third party indemnity rights from developers for costs incurred in the litigation. In August 2015, the defendants jointly moved to transfer the case to the Western District of Washington. On May 17, 2016, the Washington Court issued a scheduling order that provides that defendants leave to jointly file an early motion for summary judgement in June 2016.  On June 17, 2016, the defendants jointly filed a motion for summary judgment that stated that none of the defendants, including the Company, infringed upon the asserted patent.  On July 9, 2016, Mr. Baker opposed the motion. On July 15, 2016, the defendants jointly filed a reply.  The briefing on the motion is now closed.  The Court has not yet issued a decision or indicated if or when there will be oral argument on the motion.
 
Intelligent Verification Systems, LLC ("IVS"), filed a patent infringement complaint on September 20, 2012, in the United States District Court for the Eastern District against the Company and Microsoft Corporation. In March 2015, the court issued an order excluding the evidence proffered by IVS in support of its alleged damages, including the opinion of its damages expert.  IVS appealed that decision. On January 19, 2016, the Federal Circuit denied IVS’ appeal and affirmed the district court’s orders that excluded the plaintiff’s damages expert and dismissed the case.
  
In addition to the item above, the Company at times may be a party to claims and suits in the ordinary course of business. We record a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company has not recorded a liability with respect to the matter above. While the Company believes that it has valid defenses with respect to the legal matter pending and intends to vigorously defend the matter above, given the uncertainty surrounding litigation and our inability to assess the likelihood of a favorable or unfavorable outcome, it is possible that the resolution of the matter could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
 
Commitments
 
The Company leases office space in South Plainfield, New Jersey at a cost of approximately $1,613 per month under a lease agreement that expires on March 31, 2017.
 
The Company also leases space in Salt Lake City, Utah at a cost of approximately $12,439 per month under a lease agreement that expires in December 2017.
 
The Company has entered into employment agreements with key executives that contain severance terms and change of control provisions.
 
12. RELATED PARTIES
 
In January 2015, the Company entered into an agreement with Equity Stock Transfer for transfer agent services. A Board member of the Company is a co-founder and chief executive officer of Equity Stock Transfer. Fees under the agreement were approximately $2,000 and $0, in the three months ended January 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
 
13. SEGMENT REPORTING
 
The Company's operations involve dissimilar products which are managed separately. Accordingly, it operates in two segments: 1) video games and 2) regenerative medicine.

14. SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
 
Effective February 8, 2017, Michael Brauser, a Class II director and Barry Honig, a Class III director resigned as members of PolarityTE, Inc.’s Board of Directors (the “Board”). Mr. Brauser also resigned as a member of each of the Board’s Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees. Each director resignation was not the result from any disagreement with the Company, any matter related to the Company’s operations, policies or practices, the Company’s management or the Board.
 
On February 8, 2017, the Board appointed Steve Gorlin as a Class II director with a term expiring in 2019 and Dr. Jon Mogford as a Class III director with a term expiring in 2017 to fill vacancies created upon the resignations of Messrs. Brauser and Honig. In addition, Mr. Gorlin was appointed as a member of each of the Board’s Audit, Compensation and Nominating and Corporate Governance Committees. Each of Mr. Gorlin and Dr. Mogford are deemed an “independent” director as such term is defined by the rules of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC.

Mr. Gorlin and Dr. Mogford were each granted (i) an option to purchase up to 50,000 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price equal to $4.72 per share (the “Options”) which Options will vest in 24 equal monthly installments commencing on the one month anniversary of the grant date and (ii) a restricted stock award of 50,000 shares of common stock that will vest in 24 equal monthly installments commencing on the one month anniversary of the grant date (the “RSUs”). The Options and the RSUs were granted pursuant to the Company’s 2017 Equity Incentive Plan (the “2017 Plan”). The 2017 Plan, the vesting and the exercise of the Options and the vesting of the RSUs are subject to stockholder approval.
 
On March 10, 2017, stockholders approved the asset acquisition of PolarityTE, Inc., the 2017 Plan, the vesting and the exercise of the Options and the vesting of the RSUs.

Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.
 
Statements in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q that are not historical facts constitute forward-looking statements that are made pursuant to the safe harbor provisions of Section 21E of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, or the “Exchange Act”. Examples of forward-looking statements include statements relating to industry prospects, our future economic performance including anticipated revenues and expenditures, results of operations or financial position, and other financial items, our business plans and objectives, including our intended product releases, and may include certain assumptions that underlie forward-looking statements. Risks and uncertainties that may affect our future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements include, among other things, those listed under “Risk Factors” and elsewhere in our annual report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 31, 2016. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expects,” “intends,” “plans,” “anticipates,” “believes,” “estimates,” “predicts,” “potential” or “continue” or the negative of these terms or other comparable terminology. These statements are subject to business and economic risk and reflect management’s current expectations, and involve subjects that are inherently uncertain and difficult to predict. Actual events or results may differ materially. Moreover, neither we nor any other person assumes responsibility for the accuracy or completeness of these statements. We are under no duty to update any of the forward-looking statements after the date of this report to conform these statements to actual results. References herein to “we,” “us,” and “the Company” are to PolarityTE, Inc.
 
Overview
 
PolarityTE, Inc. is an innovative developer, marketer, publisher and distributor of interactive entertainment for consumers around the world. Building on more than 25 years of operating history, the Company develops and publishes a wide range of video games on digital networks through its Midnight City label, including Nintendo’s DS, 3DS, Wii and WiiU, Sony’s PlayStation 3 and 4, or PS3 and PS4, Microsoft’s Xbox 360 and Xbox One and the personal computer, or PC. The Company sells its products through digital distribution.
 
PolarityTE, Inc. is aiming to be the first company to deliver regenerative medicine into clinical practice through tissue engineering. Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company's platform technology will allow it to regenerate a patient’s tissues using their own cells.
 
Video Game Products
 
Net Revenues.  Our revenues are principally derived from sales of our video games.
 
Cost of Sales.  Cost of sales includes amortization and impairment of capitalized software development costs and license fees.  Commencing upon the related product’s release, capitalized software development and intellectual property license costs are amortized to cost of sales.
 
Gross Profit.  Gross profit is the excess of net revenues over cost of sales, including amortization and impairment of software development and license fees. Development and license fees incurred to produce video games are generally incurred up front and amortized to cost of sales. The recovery of these costs and total gross profit is dependent upon achieving a certain sales volume, which varies by title.
 
Product Research and Development Expenses.  Ongoing research and development activities have been substantially reduced since fiscal 2014.
 
Selling and Marketing Expenses.  Since July 2015, these activities are now limited to online and in social media.
 
General and Administrative Expenses.  General and administrative expenses primarily represent employee related costs, including stock compensation, for corporate executive and support staff, general office expenses, professional fees and various other overhead charges. Professional fees, including legal and accounting expenses, typically represent one of the largest components of our general and administrative expenses. These fees are partially attributable to our required activities as a publicly traded company, such as SEC filings, and corporate- and business-development initiatives.
 
 
-22-
 
Income Taxes.  Income taxes consist of our provisions for income taxes, as affected by our net operating loss carryforwards. Future utilization of our net operating loss, or NOL, carryforwards may be subject to a substantial annual limitation due to the “change in ownership” provisions of the Internal Revenue Code. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of NOL carryforwards before utilization. Due to our history of losses, a valuation allowance sufficient to fully offset our NOL and other deferred tax assets has been established under current accounting pronouncements, and this valuation allowance will be maintained unless sufficient positive evidence develops to support its reversal.
 
Critical Accounting Estimates
 
Our discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations is based upon our consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America, or GAAP.
 
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results could differ materially from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.
 
We have identified the policies below as critical to our business operations and to the understanding of our financial results. The impact and any associated risks related to these policies on our business operations is discussed throughout management’s discussion and analysis of financial condition and results of operations when such policies affect our reported and expected financial results.
 
Revenue Recognition.  Our software products are sold exclusively as downloads of digital content for which the consumer takes possession of the digital content for a fee. Revenue from product downloads is generally recognized when the download is made available (assuming all other recognition criteria are met).
 
When we enter into license or distribution agreements that provide for multiple copies of games in exchange for guaranteed amounts, revenue is recognized in accordance with the terms of the agreements, generally upon delivery of a master copy, assuming our performance obligations are complete and all other recognition criteria are met, or as per-copy royalties are earned on sales of games.
 
Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation.  Stock-based compensation expense is measured at the grant date based on the fair value of the award and is recognized as expense over the vesting period. Determining the fair value of stock-based awards at the grant date requires judgment, including, in the case of stock option awards, estimating expected stock volatility. In addition, judgment is also required in estimating the amount of stock-based awards that are expected to be forfeited. If actual results differ significantly from these estimates, stock-based compensation expense and our results of operations could be materially impacted.
 
Accounting for Common and Preferred Stock and Warrant transactions.  We issued units consisting of preferred shares and warrants and common stock and warrants and subsequently remeasured certain of those warrants. Determining the fair value of the securities in these transactions requires significant judgment, including adjustments to quoted share prices and expected stock volatility. Such estimates may significantly impact our results of operations and losses applicable to common stockholders.
 
Commitments and Contingencies. We record a liability for contingencies when the amount is both probable and reasonably estimable. We record associated legal fees as incurred. We accrued contingent liabilities for certain potential licensor and customer liabilities and claims that were transferred to Zift but may not be extinguished by such transaction.

Results of Operations
 
Three months ended January 31, 2017 versus three months ended January 31, 2016
 
In July 2015, the Company transferred to Zift Interactive LLC (“Zift”), a newly-formed subsidiary, certain rights under certain of its publishing licenses related to developing, publishing and distributing video game products through retail distribution for a term of one year. The Company transferred Zift to its former chief executive officer, Jesse Sutton. In exchange, the Company received Mr. Sutton’s resignation from the position of chief executive officer of the Company, including waiver of any severance payments and the execution of a separation agreement, together with his agreement to serve as a consultant to the Company. In addition, Zift will pay the Company a specified percent of its net revenue from retail sales on a quarterly basis.  Approximately $133,000 was paid to Zift during the quarter ended January 31, 2016 for consideration under the conveyance agreement with Zift.
 
Net Revenues. Net revenues for the three months ended January 31, 2017 decreased 74% to approximately $156,000 from $591,000 in the comparable quarter last year. The decrease was due to lower sales of Zumba and other titles.
 
Gross Profit. Gross profit for the three months ended January 31, 2017 decreased 71% to approximately $156,000 compared to a gross profit of approximately $533,000 in the same period last year. The decrease in gross profit reflects lower Zumba and other sales as discussed above. Gross profit as a percentage of net sales was 100% for the three months ended January 31, 2017, compared to 90% for the three months ended January 31, 2016.  The increase in gross profit percentage is due to the lower cost of sales associated with a digitally sold product.
 
Product Research and Development Expenses. Product research and development expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2017 decreased 43% to approximately $20,000 compared to $35,000 in the same period last year.  The decrease reflects the continued reduction in this activity.
 
Selling and Marketing Expenses. Total selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended January 31, 2017 increased 35% to approximately $31,000 compared to approximately $23,000 for the three months ended January 31, 2016. The increase is due to increase of public relations expense.
 
General and Administrative Expenses. For the three-month period ended January 31, 2017, general and administrative expenses increased 406% to approximately $5.7 million compared to $1.1 million for the three months ended January 31, 2016. The increase is primarily due to increased stock-based compensation of $3.9 million and increased headcount related to the Company's new medical activities.
   
Operating loss. Operating loss for the three months ended January 31, 2017 increased 765% to approximately $5.7 million, compared to an operating loss of approximately $654,000 in the comparable period in 2016, primarily reflecting both lower revenues and higher stock-based compensation expenses.
 
Other income. In the three months ended January 31, 2017 and 2016, our other income was not significant.
 
Income Taxes. In the three months ended January 31, 2017 and 2016, our income tax expense was not significant, representing primarily minimum state income taxes.
 
Liquidity and Capital Resources
 
As of January 31, 2017, our cash and cash equivalents balance was $6.9 million and our working capital was approximately $5.0 million, compared to cash and equivalents of $6.5 million and working capital of $5.4 million at October 31, 2016.
 
From fiscal 2013 through the present, we have experienced net cash outflows from operations, generally to fund operating losses due to declining revenues which we attribute to three factors: 1) the introduction of competing “freemium” games on competing handheld devices such as the Apple iPhone or iTouch, and Android powered devices; 2) a shift in game distribution from retail to digital downloads; and 3) a decline in the popularity of motion based fitness games including games we publish under the Zumba fitness brand. As a result of these factors we have reduced our operating expenses, including the reduction of game production and marketing personnel, and have eliminated substantially all of our new game development activities. In 2015, we transferred our retail distribution activities to Zift and transferred related assets and liabilities, including accounts receivable, inventory, customer credits and certain other liabilities.

On December 1, 2016, we entered into an Agreement and Plan of Reorganization (the “Agreement”) with Majesco Acquisition Corp., a Nevada corporation and wholly-owned subsidiary of the Company, PolarityTE, Inc., a Nevada corporation (“Polarity NV”) and Dr. Denver Lough, the owner of 100% of the issued and outstanding shares of capital stock of Polarity NV (the “Seller”). The closing is subject to various closing conditions. We believe we have sufficient cash on hand to fund operations through the next twelve months.
 
The Company will continue to pursue fundraising opportunities that meet its long-term objectives, however, the Company believes that it has sufficient cash to fund its operations for the next twelve months from the issuance of these financial statements.
 
Dividends
 
On January 4, 2016, we declared a special cash dividend of an aggregate of $10.0 million to holders of record on January 14, 2016 of its outstanding shares of: (i) common stock (ii) Series A Preferred Shares; (iii) Series B Preferred Shares; (iv) Series C Preferred Shares and (v) Series D Preferred Shares.  The holders of record of the Company’s outstanding preferred stock participated in the dividend on an “as converted” basis.
 
April 2016 Registered Common Stock and Warrant Offering
 
On April 13, 2016, the Company entered into a Securities Purchase Agreement with certain institutional investors providing for the issuance and sale by the Company of 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock, par value $0.001 per share at an offering price of $6.00 per share, for net proceeds of $1.4 million after deducting placement agent fees and expenses. In addition, the Company sold to purchasers of common stock in this offering, warrants to purchase 187,500 shares of its common stock. The common shares and the Warrant Shares were offered by the Company pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement on Form S-3, which was initially filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on October 22, 2015 and declared effective on December 7, 2015. The closing of the offering occurred on April 19, 2016.
 
Each Warrant is immediately exercisable for two years, but not thereafter, at an exercise price of $6.90 per share. Subject to limited exceptions, a holder of warrants will not have the right to exercise any portion of its warrants if the holder, together with its affiliates, would beneficially own in excess of 4.99% of the number of shares of our common stock outstanding immediately after giving effect to such exercise.  The exercise price and number of warrants are subject to adjustment in the event of any stock dividends and splits, reverse stock split, stock dividend, recapitalization, reorganization or similar transaction.
 
Preferred Share Conversion Activity
 
During the quarter ended January 31, 2017, 1,213,851 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock Series A, 6,092 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock Series B, 1,148 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock Series C and 61,666 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock Series D were converted into 425,770 shares of common stock.
 
During the quarter ended January 31, 2016, 529,903 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock Series A and 3,667 shares of Convertible Preferred Stock Series D were converted into 566,573 shares of common stock.
 
Common Stock

On January 6, 2016, certain investors exercised their options at $4.08 in exchange for the Company’s common stock for an aggregated amount of 31,656 shares.
 
 
-25-
 
On December 16, 2016, the Company sold an aggregate of 759,333 shares of its common stock to certain accredited investors pursuant to separate subscription agreements at a price of $3.00 per share for gross proceeds of $2.3 million.
 
On January 18, 2017, the Company entered into separate exchange agreements (each an “Exchange Agreement”) with certain accredited investors (the “Investors”) who purchased warrants to purchase shares of the Company’s common stock (the “Warrants”) pursuant to the prospectus dated April 13, 2016. Pursuant to the Offering, the Company issued 250,000 shares of the Company’s common stock and Warrants to purchase 187,500 shares of common stock (taking into account the reverse split of the Company’s common stock on a 1 for 6 basis effective with The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC on August 1, 2016). The common stock and Warrants were offered by the Company pursuant to an effective shelf registration statement.
 
Under the terms of the Exchange Agreement, each Investor exchanged each Warrant it purchased in the Offering for 0.3 shares of common stock. Accordingly, the Company issued an aggregate of 56,250 shares of common stock in exchange for the return and cancellation of 187,500 Warrants.
 
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
 
As of January 31, 2017, we had no off-balance sheet arrangements.
 
Inflation

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
 
Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, has evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e), as of the end of the period covered by this report.
 
In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives.
  
While we believe our disclosure controls and procedures and our internal control over financial reporting are adequate, no system of controls can prevent errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. 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. Because of 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, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur. Controls can also be circumvented by individual acts of some people, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with its policies or procedures. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
 
Subject to the limitations above, management believes that the condensed consolidated financial statements and other financial information contained in this report, fairly present in all material respects our financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows for the periods presented.
 
Based on the evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) were effective at a reasonable assurance level.
 
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
 
During the three months ended January 31, 2017, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting.
 
PART II. OTHER INFORMATION
 
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
 
On February 26, 2015, a complaint for patent infringement was filed in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Texas by Richard Baker, an individual residing in Australia, against Microsoft, Nintendo, the Company and a number of other game publisher defendants. The complaint alleges that the Company’s Zumba Fitness Kinect game infringed plaintiff’s patents in motion tracking technology. The plaintiff is representing himself pro se in the litigation and is seeking monetary damages in the amount of $1.3 million. The Company, in conjunction with Microsoft, is defending itself against the claim and has certain third party indemnity rights from developers for costs incurred in the litigation. In August 2015, the defendants jointly moved to transfer the case to the Western District of Washington. On May 17, 2016, the Washington Court issued a scheduling order that provides that defendants leave to jointly file an early motion for summary judgement in June 2016.  On June 17, 2016, the defendants jointly filed a motion for summary judgment that stated that none of the defendants, including the Company, infringed upon the asserted patent.  On July 9, 2016, Mr. Baker opposed the motion. On July 15, 2016, the defendants jointly filed a reply.  The briefing on the motion is now closed.  The Court has not yet issued a decision or indicated if or when there will be oral argument on the motion.

In addition to the item above, the Company at times may be a party to claims and suits in the ordinary course of business. We record a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss or range of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company has not recorded a liability with respect to the matter above. While the Company believes that it has valid defenses with respect to the legal matter pending and intends to vigorously defend the matter above, given the uncertainty surrounding litigation and our inability to assess the likelihood of a favorable or unfavorable outcome, it is possible that the resolution of the matter could have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, cash flows or results of operations.
