Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2011
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1 - ORGANIZATION AND DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS
The consolidated financial statements presented are those of PCS Edventures!.com, Inc., an Idaho corporation, and its wholly owned subsidiary, PCS LabMentors, Ltd., a Canadian company (collectively, the Company).
On August 3, 1994, PCS Education Systems, Inc. was incorporated under the laws of Idaho to develop and operate stand-alone learning labs.
In October 1994, PCS exchanged common stock on a one-for-one basis for common stock of PCS Schools, Inc. As a result of this exchange, PCS Schools, Inc. became a wholly owned subsidiary of PCS. In the late 1990s, the Company divested the stand-alone learning labs to focus more on a hands-on module coupled with web-based technology for use in the classroom.
On March 27, 2000, PCS changed its name from PCS Education Systems, Inc. to PCS Edventures!.com, Inc.
On November 30, 2005, PCS entered into an agreement with 511092 N.B. LTD., a Canadian corporation, (LabMentors) to exchange PCS common stock for common stock of 511092 N.B. LTD. as disclosed in the 8-K as filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC) on December 9, 2005 and amended on February 15, 2006. As a result of the definitive Share Exchange Agreement, 511092 N.B. LTD. became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. In December 2005, the name of this subsidiary was formally changed to PCS LabMentors, Ltd. It remains a Canadian corporation.
NOTE 2 - UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
The September 30, 2011, consolidated financial statements presented herein are unaudited, and in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of only normal recurring accruals) necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows. Such financial statements do not include all of the information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the Annual Report on Form 10-K for PCS Edventures!.com for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011. The March 31, 2011, consolidated balance sheet is derived from the audited balance sheet included therein.
The operating results for the three-month and six-month periods ended September 30, 2011, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending March 31, 2012.
NOTE 3 - GOING CONCERN
The Companys consolidated financial statements are prepared using accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America applicable to a going concern that contemplates the realization of assets and liquidation of liabilities in the normal course of business. The established sources of revenues are not sufficient to cover the Companys operating costs. The Company has accumulated significant losses and payables and generated negative cash flows. The combination of these items raises substantial doubt about its ability to continue as a going concern. Managements plans with respect to alleviating this adverse position are as follows:
During the fiscal year ended March 31, 2011, the Company continued to strengthen and develop its core line of Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) products and services. The Academy of Robotics was updated and enriched through the development of new curriculum and major technical upgrades. Additional volumes of curriculum in Pre-Algebra and Algebra I were completed. This series was developed by experts in the field of mathematics and in cooperation with the Boise School District. The development of robotics competition resources, including manuals, judging rubrics, and an overall competition framework, was completed
10
PCS EDVENTURES!.COM, INC
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2011
(Unaudited)
and successfully launched with an international competition conducted in July 2010. In addition, extensive curriculum development around the Companys early childhood materials and the BrickLab professional development programs were completed and enhanced, and additional research from the Meridian District Boise State University research project was added to our research base for products. The Company was also successful in deploying additional education programs into Middle East partner sites including an expansion of the Al Riyadh Schools program in Saudi Arabia and the establishment of PCS programs in five experimental schools in Egypt. Both of these programs help to establish a foundation for possible additional expansion into Egypt and the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. The Company expanded its University partnerships with Idaho State University, the University of Idaho and Florida Gulf Coast University this past fiscal year ending March 31, 2011.
In addition to the these product changes and enhancements, the Company hired Valerie L. Grindle as Sr. Vice President of Finance and Administration and Chief Financial Officer effective March 2011. Ms. Grindle has extensive experience in financial reporting and strategic planning, a strong background and working experience in the development and implementation of budgeting and forecasting systems, as well as international accounting and business experience. Effective July 31, 2011, Ms. Grindle was appointed to serve as Chief Executive Officer and as a member of the Board of Directors to fill the vacancies created by the resignation of Anthony A. Maher from those positions on that date.
Ms. Grindle joined PCS having most recently served as CFO of Great American Appetizers, a privately-owned manufacturing company in Nampa, Idaho for two years. Previously, she founded and, from 1995 until 2009, operated a consulting practice that provided interim C-level executive services to companies. As a part of her consulting practice, Ms. Grindle orchestrated a turnaround as Chief Executive Officer and Member of the Board of Directors of a pharmaceutical reverse distribution company. During this engagement, she developed a solid management team, renegotiated credit lines and attracted additional equity investment.
The Company plans to capitalize on these changes and to use its understanding of the complexities of STEM subjects and its progressive methodologies to deliver solutions for educators to meet the growing demands of teaching STEM and integrating technology into classrooms. During the second quarter of FY 2012, ending September 30, 2011, the Company launched sales of its newest version of the controller for its robotics products, The Brain 4.0. In addition, the Company continues to review and analyze its marketing and sales strategies to strengthen and enhance market share and its unique positioning in the educational afterschool and professional development markets. The Company is also beginning a review of its business processes and procedures in order to establish and track clearly identified goals and objectives.
The ability of the Company to continue as a going concern is dependent upon our ability to successfully accomplish the plans described in the preceding paragraphs, to raise capital as needed, to continue to monitor and reduce overhead costs, and to attain profitable operations. The accompanying consolidated financial statements do not include any adjustments that might be necessary if the Company is unable to continue as a going concern.

NOTE 5 - EDUCATIONAL SOFTWARE
Educational software was purchased by the Company as a part of its acquisition of 511092 N.B. LTD. In addition, the Company has internally developed education computer programs and student exercises to be accessed on the Internet. In accordance with financial accounting standards pertaining to internally developed software, the costs associated with research and initial feasibility of the programs and student exercises are expensed as incurred. Once economic feasibility has been determined, the costs to develop the programs and student exercises are capitalized until the software is ready for sale. At that point, the development costs are reported at the lower of unamortized cost or net realizable value. Capitalized programs and student exercise inventory items are amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of the program or exercise, generally 24 to 48 months.
NOTE 6 - GOODWILL
The entire goodwill balance of $202,688 at September 30, 2011 and March 31, 2011, which is not deductible for tax purposes due to the purchase being completed through the exchange of stock, is related to the Companys acquisition of PCS LabMentors in November 2005. Included within this amount of goodwill are capital costs associated with the acquisition. The capitalized costs were incurred for accounting, consulting and legal fees associated with the transaction. With the acquisition of PCS LabMentors, the Company gained LabMentors significant interest in the technical college market and increased the Companys products available for sale to educational outlets. The Company also obtained the information technology and programming expertise of LabMentors workforce, gained additional cost optimization and gained greater market flexibility in optimizing market information and access to collegiate level sales.
Generally accepted accounting standards require that a two-step impairment test be performed annually or whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of an asset may not be recoverable. The first step of the test for impairment compares the book value of the Company to its estimated fair value. The second step of the goodwill impairment test, which is only required when the net book value of the item exceeds the fair value, compares the implied fair value of goodwill to its book value to determine if an impairment is required.
The Company undertook a Goodwill impairment review during fiscal year 2011. After reviewing current operating losses and future growth potential of the subsidiary, the Company determined that impairment was not necessary.

Debt discount | - | (125,607) |
Total Notes Payable | $ 354,050 | $ 189,393 |
On April 11, 2011, the Company repaid that certain note dated March 7, 2011, in the amount of $101,458. The payment consisted of $100,000 in principal and $1,458 in interest. The interest paid included $1,000 that was accrued as of March 31, 2011, in Accrued Expenses and was expensed in the previous period.
On June 20, 2011 the Company entered into a convertible promissory note in the amount of $100,000. The note bears interest at ten percent (10.0%) per annum and includes attached warrants to purchase two shares of restricted Rule 144 common stock for every dollar loaned, at a rate of $0.15 per share, for a total of 200,000 restricted Rule 144 common shares. The Note was due on August 20, 2011. At the Lenders sole option, Lender may elect to receive payment of this Note and all accrued interest on the due date in restricted Rule 144 common stock of the Borrower at the price per share of said restricted Rule 144 common stock at same rate as the warrants. The warrants expire 36 months from date of agreement. The note was evaluated for embedded derivatives in accordance with ASC 815 and was found to not include any embedded derivatives. The Company recognized a discount on the debt issued, which was composed of an embedded beneficial conversion feature and attached warrants. The Company measured the beneficial conversion feature by allocating a portion of the proceeds equal to the intrinsic value of the feature to additional paid-in-capital. The intrinsic value of the feature was calculated on the commitment date using the effective conversion price of the notes. This intrinsic value is limited to the portion of the proceeds allocated to the notes, and was calculated as $40,000. The warrants attached to the notes were valued using the Black Scholes Valuation Model, resulting in a fair value of $36,138. On September 30, 2011 the due date of this note was extended to November 1, 2011 at the same ten percent (10.0%) per annum rate. As part of the extension specific accounts receivable were pledged as collateral on the note and as consideration for the extension, additional warrants to purchase two shares of restricted Rule 144 common stock for every dollar loaned, at a rate of $0.15 per share, for a total of 200,000 restricted Rule 144 common shares were granted to the Lender. The attached warrants were valued using the Black Scholes Valuation Model, resulting in a fair value of $28,216 that was expensed at date of issue. The note was repaid in full on November 7, 2011, the same day as the receivable that had been pledged as collateral was collected.
The total amount of the debt discount calculated upon issuance of the promissory note during the period was $76,138. This debt discount was fully charged to interest expense during the period with $13,730 amortized during the three months ended June 30, 2011 and the remaining $62,408 amortized during the three months ended September 30, 2011. During the three months ended June 30, 2011, the total debt discount amortization on all other promissory notes previously issued was $125,607. Amortization of the debt discount is calculated using the effective interest method.
On October 27, 2011, the Company extended the due date on certain convertible Notes Payable in existence at March 31, 2011 in the aggregate amount of $215,000. The notes are convertible into common stock at a rate of $0.15 per share. These notes were originally due on June 29, 2011, subsequently extended to October 27, and will now mature on November 27, 2011. In consideration for the first note extension the Company issued an

additional 430,000 in restricted Rule 144 common stock warrants. The restricted Rule 144 common stock warrants allow for the purchase of one share of restricted Rule 144 common stock at $0.15 per restricted Rule 144 common stock warrant. The warrants expire 36 months from the date of the original warrant agreement. The fair market value of these warrants was calculated using the Black Scholes Valuation Model, resulting in an expense of $61,995 during the quarter ended June 30, 2011. No additional warrants were issued in connection with the most recent extension.

b. Litigation
(i) The Company previously announced that on August 27, 2010, it obtained a copy of a complaint filed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) commencing a civil lawsuit against PCS, its Chief Executive Officer Anthony A. Maher, and its former Chief Financial Officer Shannon Stith (Parties). The complaint (Case 1:10-cv-00433-CWD) was filed in the United States District Court For The District Of Idaho. The lawsuit involves disclosures made by the Company concerning its March 26, 2007 License Agreement with Global Techniques dba PCS Middle East (PCS ME). The complaint alleges: 1) the Parties violated Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act [15 U.S.C. § 78j(b)] and Rule 10b-5 thereunder [17 C.F.R. § 240.10b-5], and, in doing so, the Parties are alleged to have committed fraud in connection with the purchase and sale of securities; 2) the Parties violated Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act [15 U.S.C. § 78m(a)] and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1, and 13a-11 thereunder [17 C.F.R. 240.12b-20, 240.13a-1, and 240.13a-11] by making alleged false filings with the SEC and aiding and abetting false filings with the SEC; and 3) Mr. Maher and Ms. Stith violated Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act [15 U.S.C. § 78m(a)] and Rule

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
September 30, 2011
(Unaudited)
13a-14 thereunder [17 C.F.R. § 240.13a-14] in making false certifications of an annual report. The complaint seeks a permanent injunction, civil money penalties pursuant to Section 21(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, and a bar against Mr. Maher and Ms. Stith from serving as an officer or director of any issuer that has a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, as amended, or that is required to file reports pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. On April 28, 2011 and May 24, 2011, the Company participated in Court-ordered settlement conferences with representatives of the SEC and has reached a tentative agreement under which there will be no material financial impact to the Company. On May 25, 2011, the Court entered a consent judgment against Ms. Stith: (1) permanently enjoining her from aiding and abetting any violation of Section13(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1 and 13a-11 promulgated thereunder, (2) permanently enjoining her from violating Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13a-14 promulgated thereunder, and (3) ordering her to pay a civil penalty pursuant to Section 21(d)(3) of the Exchange Act in an amount that will be determined by the Court.
Under its bylaws, PCS is obligated, subject to certain exceptions and conditions, to indemnify and advance expenses to current and former officers and directors in connection with the SEC suit. The costs incurred by PCS in addressing the SEC suit may have a material adverse effect on PCS business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows (including its liquidity and its plan of operation as outlined in managements discussion and analysis in PCS most recent 10-K and 10-Q reports).
(ii) Class Action Lawsuit: The Company, along with its former CEO and former CFO, was named in a class action lawsuit (Niederklein v. PCS Edventures!.com, Inc., et al., U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho, Case 1:10-cv-00479-CWD). The class action was brought on behalf of shareholders who purchased shares of the Companys common stock during the period between March 28, 2007 and August 15, 2007. On February 24, 2011, the Court granted the motion of Moustafa Salem to serve as the lead plaintiff. On June 8, 2011, the lead plaintiff filed a motion to voluntarily dismiss the former CFO without prejudice from the lawsuit, which the Court has granted. In September, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement to settle the class action lawsuit, subject to further proceedings and approval by the Court. While the Company denies the allegations made in the class action lawsuit, the settlement was entered to eliminate the burden and expense of further litigation. If the settlement receives final approval the Company and its insurance carrier are obligated to pay the sum of $665,000 in full settlement of the class action. On October 5, 2011, the Court granted preliminary approval to the settlement, approved the notices that would be sent to potential class members and scheduled the Settlement Fairness Hearing for February 22, 2012, at which time the Court will decide whether to grant final approval.
Under its bylaws, PCS is obligated, subject to certain exceptions and conditions, to indemnify and advance expenses to current and former officers and directors in connection with this suit. The costs incurred by PCS in addressing this suit may have a material adverse effect on PCS business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows (including its liquidity and its plan of operation as outlined in managements discussion and analysis in PCS most recent 10-K and 10-Q reports).
The Company established a reserve in other expense during the quarter ended September 30, 2011 of ($78,000) to cover the anticipated cost of settling both the SEC lawsuit and the Class Action suit against the Company.
c. Contingencies
The Company is currently working with the State of California and a private consulting firm specializing in California State sales and use tax in relation to a review of sales and use tax for our California customers during the period April 1, 2002 through June 30, 2011. During this period, there was an estimated $0.6 million in reportable sales in which the Company did not file or collect sales and use tax, as required by California State law. The ongoing review has determined that approximately $60,000 in prior period sales and use tax, including interest and late fees, is due to the California State Board of Equalization (BOE) as of June 30, 2011. Of this amount the Company was successful in collecting approximately $41,000 from prior customers. A check in the amount of $41,472.83 was mailed to the BOE on August 31, 2011 and applied against the liability leaving a balance of $7,146.44 in sales and use tax and $13,315.87 in interest as of September 30, 2011. The Company was able to work

with the BOE to have all penalties allotted, relieved from the account. The estimated recognized loss due to the inability to collect from customers was decreased to adjust the reported loss during fiscal year 2011 from $30,000 to approximately $7,100 during the quarter ending September 30, 2011. The Company is working with the BOE to implement a payment plan to satisfy the outstanding liability in order to remain in good standing with the State of California.
NOTE 10 - STOCKHOLDERS EQUITY
The Company is required to recognize expense of options or similar equity instruments issued to employees using the fair-value-based method of accounting for stock-based payments in compliance with the financial accounting standard pertaining to share-based payments. This standard covers a wide range of share-based compensation arrangements including share options, restricted share plans, performance-based awards, share appreciation rights, and employee share purchase plans. Application of this standard requires significant judgment regarding the assumptions used in the selected option pricing model, including stock price volatility and employee exercise behavior. Most of these inputs are either highly dependent on the current economic environment at the date of grant or forward-looking over the expected term of the award.
During the six-month period ended September 30, 2011, the Company issued 466,245 shares of common stock for services, valued at $103,198, based on the closing price of the Companys common stock on the date of grant.

NOTE 13 - DILUTIVE INSTRUMENTS
Stock Options and Warrants

The following discussion should be read in conjunction with our audited consolidated financial statements and Managements Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations (MD&A) contained in our Form 10-K for the year ended March 31, 2011.
Plan of Operation
In fiscal year 2012 PCS will continue its commitment to the research and development of PreK-16, brain-based learning programs in Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM) that embed 21st century thinking skills and new technologies. In order to deploy the technical education and K-6 programs that had been in development and pilot testing for several years, PCS implemented a new Strategic Business Unit (SBU) and subsidiary structure in fiscal year 2011 that targeted sales efforts to the following markets:
19
1) K-6 programs for the elementary classroom
2) Tech Ed programs for grades 6-12
3) Afterschool programs
4) Services that provide K-16 educational solutions for the international market
5) Virtual labs for community colleges and universities
Fiscal year 2011 was the first year of implementation of the K-6 and Tech Ed SBUs and represented a milestone for taking PCS programs into the core classroom market, beyond the afterschool market. Progress was made in establishing district and university relationships, expanding the pilot programs, compiling research, developing grant partnerships, and refining the products and services for the classroom through continued application and testing.
During fiscal year 2012 we will continue to build upon the SBU foundations established in FY2011 and drive toward the establishment of synergies between these SBUs and our subsidiary, LabMentors. This effort will include a more focused approach to our web-based marketing efforts and tightened sales processes. In addition, during FY2011, PCS applied for and was awarded Trade Adjustment Assistance funds in the amount of $75,000 to apply to the development and promotion of PCS programs to improve our competitiveness against foreign imports. These matching funds will be used in fiscal year 2012 to improve and expand the PCS Robotics line of controllers, proprietary software, and curriculum solutions to take advantage of the rapidly growing robotics education market.
The Company has undergone a reorganization with the resignation of Mr. Anthony A. Maher as CEO and Chairman of the Board during the second quarter of fiscal year 2012. Ms. Valerie L. Grindle, former CFO, assumed the role of Chief Executive Officer and Ms. Leann Gilberg was hired as CFO. Ms. Grindle has begun utilizing her turn-around experience to focus the Company on specific goals and objectives. Mr. Robert Grover has assumed a new role of President of the International SBU in addition to his prior role as CTO. This allows Mr. Grover to concentrate on developing products for the global markets. Ms. Gilberg is working towards improved internal controls and financial reporting. The Company anticipates hiring other key executives in the future to further strengthen the team.
On September 14, 2011, we announced that we had entered into a five year content license and royalty agreement (the Kindle License) with Kindle Experiential Learning Private Ltd., an India domiciled and registered corporation (KEL) that was to be effective on the receipt of the first payment. The contract requires payments of $150,000 based on certain milestones, plus ongoing royalties. Of the $150,000, $25,000 is to be applied to future royalties. The first payment for a milestone was received by wire transfer on October 3, 2011. KEL is a start-up business whose founders have over 30 years of combined experience in the education field, with a business plan that anticipates opening learning centers at a conservative pace. Future payments due under the License will be subject to the success of KEL in its planned endeavors and further subject to the risks inherent in enforcing international contracts, among other risks.
Results of Operations
Three-month period ended September 30, 2011, compared to three-month period ended September 30, 2010
The quarter ended September 30, 2011, resulted in revenue of $754,383 as compared to revenue during the quarter ended September 30, 2010 of $475,444. This increase in revenue equals $278,939 or 59% percent. This increase is due to the more targeted marketing and sales approach that the Company implemented this fiscal year.
Gross profit was up $170,538 or 63% for the quarter over the same quarter last year due to both the increase in sales and focus on cost control. In addition, operating expenses decreased by $367,804 due to lowered legal expenses related to the civil lawsuit against the Company by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC), the absence of a large marketing initiative and decreased non-cash compensation costs. This resulted in a 71% decrease in operating loss from ($761,460) for the second quarter of fiscal year 2010 to ($223,118) for the second quarter of fiscal year 2011.
Interest expense for the quarter increased by $83,719 associated with the short term notes payable. The Company established a reserve in other expense during the quarter of ($78,000) to cover the anticipated cost of settling both the SEC lawsuit and the Class Action suit against the Company. This was offset by other income primarily related to a reversal of a prior over-accrual for California sales/use tax payable and a gain on stock for services. The resulting net loss of ($295,802) for the quarter ended September 30, 2011 compares favorably to a net
20
loss during the quarter ended September 30, 2010, of ($761,123). The Basic Loss per Share for the quarter ended September 30, 2011, is ($0.01) which is an improvement from the ($0.02) loss per share for the three-month period ended September 30, 2010.
Six-month period ended September 30, 2011, compared to six-month period ended September 30, 2010
Revenues for the six-month period ended September 30, 2011 increased $357,488 to $1,318,173 as compared to revenue during the six-month period ended September 30, 2010 of $960,685. With this 37% increase in sales, gross profit rose to $730,829 for the six-month period compared to $576,544 for the same period last year. The large increase in gross profit for the second quarter of fiscal year 2012 overcame the slight decrease that occurred during the first quarter of fiscal year 2012 resulting in this 27% increase in gross profit for the six-month period year over year.
In addition, operating expenses for this six-month period decreased from $1,733,737 to $1,413,817 which was also attributable to the second quarter decrease relative to last fiscal year. The resulting net operating loss of ($682,988) is a decrease of 41% or $474,205 for the first six months of fiscal year 2012 relative to the first six months of fiscal year 2011.
Interest expense for the six-month period increased by $228,796 year over year due to the discounting of debt and the issuance of warrants attached to financing associated with the short term notes payable issued. The offsetting of other income and other expense from the second quarter carried through to the six-month period. The resulting net loss of ($900,582) for the six months ended September 30, 2011 represents a 22% decrease compared to a net loss during the six months ended September 30, 2010, of ($1,156,497). The Basic Loss per Share for the six months ended September 30, 2011, is ($0.02) which is an improvement from the ($0.03) loss per share for the six-month period ended September 30, 2010.
Liquidity
The Company ended the second quarter of fiscal year 2012 with $65,441 in cash, total current assets of $719,731 and total current liabilities of $1,191,763 resulting in a working capital deficit of $472,032 compared to positive working capital of $176,274 at September 30, 2010. The Company had a current ratio at September 30, 2011 and 2010 of 0.6 and 1.3, respectively. This decrease in liquidity was due primarily to continuing net losses which were partially financed through short term debt.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
The Company is a smaller reporting company as defined by Rule 12b-2 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange Act) and is not required to provide the information required under this item.

PART II - OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
(i) The Company previously announced that on August 27, 2010, it obtained a copy of a complaint filed by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) commencing a civil lawsuit against PCS, its former Chief Executive Officer Anthony A. Maher, and its former Chief Financial Officer Shannon Stith (Parties). The complaint (Case 1:10-cv-00433-CWD) was filed in the United States District Court For The District Of Idaho. The lawsuit involves disclosures made by the Company concerning its March 26, 2007 License Agreement with Global Techniques dba PCS Middle East (PCS ME). The complaint alleges: 1) the Parties violated Section 10(b) of the Exchange Act [15 U.S.C. § 78j(b)] and Rule 10b-5 thereunder [17 C.F.R. § 240.10b-5], and, in doing so, the Parties are alleged to have committed fraud in connection with the purchase and sale of securities; 2) the Parties violated Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act [15 U.S.C. § 78m(a)] and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1, and 13a-11 thereunder [17 C.F.R. 240.12b-20, 240.13a-1, and 240.13a-11] by making alleged false filings with the SEC and aiding and abetting false filings with the SEC; and 3) Mr. Maher and Ms. Stith violated Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act [15 U.S.C. § 78m(a)] and Rule 13a-14 thereunder [17 C.F.R. § 240.13a-14] in making false certifications of an annual report. The complaint seeks a permanent injunction, civil money penalties pursuant to Section 21(d)(3) of the Exchange Act, and a bar against Mr. Maher and Ms. Stith from serving as an officer or director of any issuer that has a class of securities registered pursuant to Section 12 of the Exchange Act, as amended, or that is required to file reports pursuant to Section 15(d) of the Exchange Act. On April 28, 2011 and May 24, 2011, the Company participated in Court-ordered settlement conferences with representatives of the SEC and has reached a tentative agreement under which there will be no material financial impact to the Company. On May 25, 2011, the Court entered a consent judgment against Ms. Stith: (1) permanently enjoining her from aiding and abetting any violation of Section13(a) of the Exchange Act, and Rules 12b-20, 13a-1 and 13a-11 promulgated thereunder, (2) permanently enjoining her from violating Section 13(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 13a-14 promulgated thereunder, and (3) ordering her to pay a civil penalty pursuant to Section 21(d)(3) of the Exchange Act in an amount that will be determined by the Court.
Under its bylaws, PCS is obligated, subject to certain exceptions and conditions, to indemnify and advance expenses to current and former officers and directors in connection with the SEC suit. The costs incurred by PCS in addressing the SEC suit may have a material adverse effect on PCS business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows (including its liquidity and its plan of operation as outlined in managements discussion and analysis in PCS most recent 10-K and 10-Q reports).
(ii) Class Action Lawsuit: The Company, along with its former CEO and former CFO, was named in a class action lawsuit (Niederklein v. PCS Edventures!.com, Inc., et al., U.S. District Court for the District of Idaho, Case 1:10-cv-00479-CWD). The class action was brought on behalf of shareholders who purchased shares of the Companys common stock during the period between March 28, 2007 and August 15, 2007. On February 24, 2011, the Court granted the motion of Moustafa Salem to serve as the lead plaintiff. On June 8, 2011, the lead plaintiff filed a motion to voluntarily dismiss the former CFO without prejudice from the lawsuit, which the Court has granted. In September, the Company announced that it had entered into an agreement to settle the class action lawsuit, subject to further proceedings and approval by the Court. While the Company denies the allegations made in the class action lawsuit, the settlement was entered to eliminate the burden and expense of further litigation. If the settlement receives final approval the Company and its insurance carrier are obligated to pay the sum of $665,000 in full settlement of the class action. On October 5, 2011, the Court granted preliminary approval to the settlement, approved the notices that would be sent to potential class members and scheduled the Settlement Fairness Hearing for February 22, 2012, at which time the Court will decide whether to grant final approval.
Under its bylaws, PCS is obligated, subject to certain exceptions and conditions, to indemnify and advance expenses to current and former officers and directors in connection with this suit. The costs incurred by PCS in
addressing this suit may have a material adverse effect on PCS business, financial position, results of operations and cash flows (including its liquidity and its plan of operation as outlined in managements discussion and analysis in PCS most recent 10-K and 10-Q reports).
The Company established a reserve in other expense during the quarter of ($78,000) to cover the anticipated cost of
22
settling both the SEC lawsuit and the Class Action suit against the Company.
