NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (UNAUDITED)

Note 1 - Nature of Business

Tix Corporation (the “Company”) was incorporated in Delaware in April 1993. The Company is a diversified integrated entertainment company providing ticketing services, event merchandising and the production and promotion of live entertainment. We operate three complementary business units: Ticketing Services (Tix4Tonight) provides discount, premium and membership group sales; Exhibit Merchandising (EM) provides our exhibit and event merchandise sales and services; and Tix Productions Inc. (TPI), provides the production and promotion of live entertainment.

Preparation of Interim Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements included in this report have been prepared by the Company pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments necessary for adoption of new accounting standards) necessary to present fairly the results of the interim periods shown. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such SEC rules and regulations. Management believes that its disclosures are sufficiently presented to prevent this information from being misleading. Due to seasonality and other factors, the results for the interim periods are not necessarily indicative of results for a full year. The financial statements contained herein should be read in conjunction with the consolidated and combined financial statements and notes thereto included in the Company’s 2008 Annual Report on Form 10-K and interim financial statements and information reported on Forms 8-K and 10-Q.

Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Revenue Recognition, Presentation and Concentrations:

The Company has several streams of income, each of which is required under Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) to be recognized in varying ways. The following is a summary of our revenue recognition policies.

The Company’s Las Vegas discount show ticketing business recognizes as revenue the commissions and related transaction fees earned from the sale of Las Vegas show tickets at the time the tickets are paid for and delivered to the customers. The Company’s commissions are calculated based on the face value of the show tickets sold. The Company’s transaction fees are charged on a per-ticket basis. With certain exceptions, ticket sales are generally non-refundable, although same-day exchanges of previously sold tickets are permitted. Claims for ticket refunds, which are generally received and paid the day after the show date, are charged back to the respective shows and are recorded as a reduction to the Company’s commissions and fees at the time that such refunds are processed. The Company does not have accounts receivable associated with its sales transactions, as payment is collected at the time of sale.

The Company’s Tix4Members.com recognizes as revenue the commissions and related transaction fees from the sale of tickets when the related event has occurred. Refunds are only issued if the event is canceled or postponed. Payments for such ticket sales received prior to the event are recorded as deferred revenue. Claims for ticket refunds, which are generally received and paid the week after the show date, are charged back to the respective shows and are recorded as a reduction to the Company’s commissions and fees at the time that such refunds are processed. Presently, Tix4Members.com does not have any accounts receivable associated with sales transactions to individual customers because payment is collected at the time of sale.

Tix4Dinner offers reservations for discounted dinners at various restaurants surrounding the Las Vegas strip and downtown with dining at specific times on the same day as the sale. Tix4Dinner recognizes as revenue the transaction fees earned from the booking of dinner reservations at the time the reservations are made. At this time, the Company has minor accounts receivable and no accounts payable associated with the Tix4Dinner operations, as the Company collects the transaction fee at the time the reservation is made, and the dinner payment is collected directly by the restaurant. The restaurants pay the Company a fee for each reservation.

Tix4Golf recognizes as revenue the difference between how much it charges its customers for tee-times and how much it pays golf courses for tee-times. The revenue per tee-time, as well as the cost per tee-time, varies, depending on the desirability of the golf course, tee-time, weather, time of year and several other factors. Revenue per tee-time is significantly higher when tee-times are guaranteed or pre-bought in large quantities. Tee-times are generally sold the day before or the day of the tee-time, however, tee-times may be booked in advance. Revenue is not recognized until the day of the tee-time. The Company does not have any accounts receivable associated with this business because all transactions are paid for at the time of purchase.

Tix4AnyEvent (AnyEvent) recognizes as revenue the gross amount from the sale of tickets that it owns. AnyEvent bears the risk of economic loss if the tickets are not sold by the date the event is scheduled to occur. Revenue is considered earned when the related event has occurred. Refunds are only issued if the event is canceled or postponed. Payments for such ticket sales received prior to the event are recorded as deferred revenue. AnyEvent does not have any accounts receivable associated with sales transactions to retail customers because payment is collected at the time of sale. However, sales transactions to other ticket brokers may be conducted on a credit basis, which would generate accounts receivable.

Exhibit Merchandising recognizes retail store sales at the time the customer takes possession of the merchandise. Sales are recorded net of discounts and returns and exclude sales tax. Discounts are estimated based upon historical experience. For online sales, revenue is recognized free on board (“FOB”) origin where title and risk of loss pass to the buyer when the merchandise leaves the Company's distribution facility at the time of shipment, which we refer to as the date of purchase by the customer. Sales are recognized net of merchandise returns, which are reserved for based on historical experience. Shipping and handling revenues from sales are included as a component of net sales. Conversely, shipping and handling costs are a component of direct cost of revenues. The Company does not have any accounts receivable associated with this business as transactions are done by cash or credit card.

On January 1, 2008, the Company began its live entertainment business. Revenue from the presentation and production of an event is recognized after the performance occurs. Revenue collected in advance of the event is recorded as deferred revenue until the event occurs. Revenue collected from sponsorship and other revenue, which is not related to any single event, is classified as deferred revenue and generally amortized over the tour’s season or the term of the contract. We account for taxes that are externally imposed on revenue producing transactions on a net basis, as a reduction to revenue.

Tix Productions Inc.’s (TPI) operating units Magic Arts & Entertainment and NewSpace act as both presenters and promoters of productions, as well as agent. TPI’s revenues from live entertainment where it is acting as the producer or promoter are a function of a number of elements; revenue is a direct reflection of tickets sold times ticket prices plus ancillary revenue streams including sponsorships and revenues generated through premium ticketing opportunities. In instances where the Company acts as the presenter or promoter it:

	·	selects the suppliers or approves the selection of the supplier,
	·	is the primary obligor with suppliers,
	·	assumes credit risk,
	·	directs the pricing of the tickets, and
	·	purchases the advertising.

The above are indicators of ownership and would be evidence that revenues and related expenses should be recorded at gross. As the Company is acting as the principal in the transaction, i.e., it has the risks and rewards of ownership and has recorded the related revenues and expenses at gross. In other instances where we only receive a fee and are not the principal obligors to vendors we record these revenues at net.

Consolidation:

The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. Intercompany transactions and balances are eliminated in consolidation.

Stock-Based Compensation:

The Company periodically issues stock options and warrants to employees and non-employees in non-capital raising transactions for services and for financing costs. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to employees using Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 123R effective January 1, 2006, for all share-based payments granted based on the requirements of SFAS No. 123R for all awards granted to employees. The Company accounts for stock option and warrant grants issued and vesting to non-employees in accordance with EITF No. 96-18: "Accounting for Equity Instruments that are Issued to Other Than Employees for Acquiring, or in Conjunction with Selling, Goods or Services” and EITF 00-18 “Accounting Recognition for Certain Transactions involving Equity Instruments Granted to Other Than Employees” whereas the value of the stock compensation is based upon the measurement date as determined at either a) the date at which a performance commitment is reached, or b) at the date at which the necessary performance to earn the equity instruments is complete.

Intangible Assets and Goodwill:

The Company accounts for intangible assets and goodwill in accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 141, “Business Combinations” and Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 142, “Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets.” Intangibles are valued at their fair market value and are amortized taking into account the character of the acquired intangible asset and the expected period of benefit. The Company evaluates intangible assets for impairment, at a minimum, on an annual basis and whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying value may not be recoverable from its estimated future cash flows. Recoverability of intangible assets is measured by comparing their net book value to the related projected undiscounted cash flows from these assets, considering a number of factors, including past operating results, budgets, economic projections, market trends and product development cycles. If the net book value of the asset exceeds the related undiscounted cash flows, the asset is considered impaired, and a second test is performed to measure the amount of impairment loss.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets:

Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 144, “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets” (“SFAS No. 144”), established guidelines regarding when impairment losses on long-lived assets, which include property and equipment, should be recognized, and how impairment losses should be measured. SFAS No. 144 also provided a single accounting model for long-lived assets to be disposed of and significantly changed the criteria that would have to be met to classify an asset as held-for-sale.

Management regularly reviews property, equipment and other long-lived assets for possible impairment. This review occurs quarterly, or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate the carrying amount of the asset may not be recoverable. If there is indication of impairment, then management prepares an estimate of future cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) expected to result from the use of the asset and its eventual disposition. If these cash flows are less than the carrying amount of the asset, an impairment loss is recognized to write down the asset to its estimated fair value. Management believes that the accounting estimate related to impairment of its property and equipment is a “critical accounting estimate” because: (1) it is highly susceptible to change from period to period because it requires management to estimate fair value, which is based on assumptions about cash flows and discount rates; and (2) the impact that recognizing an impairment would have on the assets reported on the Company’s balance sheet, as well as net income, could be material. Management’s assumptions about cash flows and discount rates require significant judgment because actual revenues and expenses have fluctuated in the past and are expected to continue to do so. There were no indications of impairment based on management’s assessment at June 30, 2009. At December 31, 2008, we recorded an impairment charge of $33.1 million related to the goodwill and intangible assets from our acquisition of EM. As of June 30, 2009, we have $11.7 million of remaining goodwill and intangible assets related to our acquisitions of John’s Tickets, LLC, EM, Magic and NewSpace. Factors we consider important that could trigger an impairment review include significant underperformance relative to historical or projected future operating results, significant changes in the manner of the use of our assets or the strategy for our overall business, and significant negative industry or economic trends. If current economic conditions worsen causing decreased revenues and increased costs, we may have further goodwill impairments.

Income Taxes:

Current income tax expense is the amount of income taxes expected to be payable for the current year. A deferred income tax asset or liability is established for the expected future consequences of temporary differences in the financial reporting and tax basis of assets and liabilities. The Company considers future taxable income and ongoing, prudent and feasible tax planning strategies, in assessing the value of its deferred tax assets. If the Company determines that it is more likely than not that these assets will not be realized, the Company will reduce the value of these assets to their expected realizable value, thereby decreasing net income. Evaluating the value of these assets is necessarily based on the Company’s judgment. If the Company subsequently determines that the deferred tax assets, which were written down, would be realized in the future, the value of the deferred tax assets would be increased, thereby increasing net income in the period when that determination was made.

The Company adopted the provisions of FIN 48 on January 1, 2007. FIN 48 prescribes a recognition threshold and a measurement attributable for the financial statement recognition and measurement of tax positions taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. For those benefits to be recognized, a tax position must be more likely than not to be sustained upon examination by taxing authorities. The amount recognized is measured as the largest amount of benefit that is greater than 50% likelihood of being realized.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments:

The carrying amounts of financial instruments, including cash, accounts and other receivables, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, and short-term loans approximate fair value because of their short maturity. The carrying amounts of capital lease obligations approximate fair value because the related effective interest rates on these instruments approximate the rates currently available to the Company.

Cash Concentrations:

The Company's cash balances on deposit with banks in savings accounts in the United States (US) are guaranteed up to $250,000 by the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (the “FDIC”). The Company may periodically be exposed to risk for the amount of funds held in one bank in excess of the insurance limit. In order to control the risk, the Company's policy is to maintain cash balances with high quality financial institutions. At June 30, 2009, the Company’s aggregate cash in excess of the FDIC insured amount was $11.4 million. In addition, the Company had aggregate cash balances in Austria and The United Kingdom of $107,000 and $14,000, respectively, which are within these respective countries’ equivalent of the US FDIC guarantee.

Foreign Currency:

Results of foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates during the year. The assets and liabilities of those operations are translated into U.S. dollars using the exchange rates at the balance sheet date. The realized and unrealized exchange losses and gains were minor in the three and six months ending June 30, 2009. The related translation adjustments are recorded in a separate component of stockholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive loss. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in the results of operations.

Accounting Estimates:

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

Advertising Costs:

Advertising costs are charged to operations as selling and marketing expenses at the time the costs are incurred. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008, advertising costs were $576,000 and $1.2 million, and $1.6 million and $3.8 million, respectively.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements:

References to the “FASB”, “SFAS” and “SAB” herein refer to the “Financial Accounting Standards Board”, “Statement of Financial Accounting Standards”, and the “SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin”, respectively.

In April 2009, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued FASB Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS 157-4, Determining Fair Value when the Volume and Level of Activity for the Asset or Liability have Significantly Decreased and Identifying Transactions that are not Orderly (“FSP 157-4”), which is effective for the Company for the quarterly period beginning April 1, 2009. FSP 157-4 affirms that the objective of fair value when the market for an asset is not active is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date under current market conditions. The FSP provides guidance for estimating fair value when the volume and level of market activity for an asset or liability have significantly decreased and determining whether a transaction was orderly. This FSP applies to all fair value measurements when appropriate. The Company does not expect the adoption of this statement will have a significant impact on its financial statements based on current market conditions.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 115-2 and FAS 124-2, Recognition and Presentation of Other-Than-Temporary Impairments (“FSP 115-2”), which is effective for the Company for the quarterly period beginning April 1, 2009. FSP 115-2 amends existing guidance for determining whether an other than temporary impairment of debt securities has occurred. Among other changes, the FASB replaced the existing requirement that an entity’s management assert it has both the intent and ability to hold an impaired security until recovery with a requirement that management assert (a) it does not have the intent to sell the security, and (b) it is more likely than not it will not have to sell the security before recovery of its cost basis. The Company has not determined the impact of the adoption of FSP 115-2 on its financial statements.

In April 2009, the FASB issued FSP FAS 107-1 and APB 28-1, Interim Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments (“FSP 107-1”), which is effective for the Company for the quarterly period beginning April 1, 2009. FSP 107-1 requires an entity to provide the annual disclosures required by FASB Statement No. 107, Disclosures about Fair Value of Financial Instruments, in its interim financial statements. The Company provides the additional disclosures as required by FSP 107-1 in its quarterly report on Form 10-Q for the period ended June 30, 2009.

In June 2009, the FASB approved the “FASB Accounting Standards Codification” (the “Codification”) as the single source of authoritative non-governmental U.S. GAAP to be launched on July 1, 2009. The codification does not change current U.S. GAAP, but is intended to simplify user access to authoritative literature related to a particular topic in one place. All existing accounting standard documents will be superseded and all accounting literature not included in the codification will be considered nonauthoritative. The codification is effective for the Company’s financial statements issued beginning in the quarter ending September 30, 2009. The Company does not expect the adoption of the codification to have an impact on its consolidated financial statements.

Note 3 - Acquisitions

On January 2, 2008, the Company entered into separate letters of intent to acquire Magic Arts and Entertainment, LLC (Magic) and NewSpace Entertainment, LLC (NewSpace). As part of the letters of intent, the managements of Magic and NewSpace agreed to manage the operations of their respective companies for the benefit of the Company from January 2, 2008 until the transactions could be finalized. The managements of Magic and NewSpace were required to consult and obtain the approval of the management of the Company prior to entering into any long term arrangements or transactions that were outside the normal course of business. Further, the Company assumed all responsibility for any losses or profits that might be incurred or earned during this period by both Magic and NewSpace. As such, the Company has included the results of operation of Magic and NewSpace in its consolidated operations as of January 2, 2008, the date the company acquired effective control. The acquisition of Magic was completed on February 29, 2008 and the acquisition of NewSpace was completed on March 12, 2008.

Mr. Marsh and Mr. Marshall were the former owners of Exhibit Merchandising. Mr. Marsh, as a result of the two transactions and open market purchases owns approximately 14% of the Company and Mr. Marshall owns approximately 6% of the Company. Further, at February 28, 2009, we issued an additional 190,476 shares of our common stock with a fair market value of $256,000 to the former owners of Magic Arts and Entertainment as they achieved the pre-determined EBITDA threshold.

Total amortization expense related to intangible assets for the three months ending June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $493,000 and $981,000, respectively. Total amortization expense related to intangible assets for the six months ending June 30, 2009 and 2008 were $983,000 and $1,987,000, respectively. The decline in amortization costs is primarily due to the $7.7 million impairment charge associated with EM which was recorded at December 31, 2008, and will result in an annual decrease of $2.0 million of amortization expense over the next four years. Total estimated amortization expense with respect to intangible assets for the remainder of 2009 through 2013 is as follows:

Tix Corporation recorded compensation expense pursuant to FAS 123(R) for the six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 of $685,000 and $805,000, respectively. As of June 30, 2009, the Company has outstanding unvested options with future compensation costs of $1.7 million, which will be recorded as compensation expense as the options vest over their remaining average life of 6.89 years.

The assumptions used in calculating the fair value of the options granted during 2009, using the Black Scholes option-pricing model were as follows:

	2009
Risk free rate of return		1.36	%
Option lives in years		3
Annual volatility of stock price		100.6	%
Dividend yield		0	%

In conjunction with a consulting agreement in 2009, the Company issued 150,000 warrants, of which 75,000 vested immediately. The remaining 75,000 vest over six months, which is the term of the consulting agreement. As the consulting agreement can be terminated at any time and the consulting arrangement does not contain any performance measurements or sufficiently large disincentives for non-performance, the related consulting expense on these 75,000 warrants is recognized over the life of the contract. In the six months ended June 30, 2009, we recorded an expense of $90,000 related to this consulting agreement. In conjunction with a consulting agreement in 2008, the Company issued 150,000 warrants, of which 50,000 vested immediately. The remaining 100,000 warrants vested over six months, which is the term of the consulting agreement. As the consulting agreement could have been terminated at any time and the consulting arrangement does not contain any performance measurements or sufficiently large disincentives for non-performance, the related consulting expense on these 100,000 warrants was recognized over the life of the contract. In the six months ended June 30, 2009, the remaining 33,000 warrants vested, and we recorded an expense of $18,000.

Note 9- Income Taxes

At June 30, 2009, the Company had Federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $27.1 million that begin expiring in 2009 in varying amounts through 2028. The Company also had California state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $700,000. In October, 2008 California temporarily suspended use of net operating losses for 2008 and 2009, and the California state net operating losses expire beginning in 2015 in varying amounts through 2018.

SFAS No. 109 requires that a valuation allowance be established when it is more likely than not that all or a portion of deferred tax assets will not be realized. Due to the restrictions imposed by Internal Revenue Code Section 382 regarding substantial changes in ownership of companies with loss carryforwards, the utilization of the Company’s net operating loss carryforwards are limited to $6.7 million per year as a result of cumulative changes in stock ownership. As a result of the limitations related to Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and the Company’s lack of history of profits, as such, the Company recorded a 100% valuation allowance against its net deferred tax assets as of June 30, 2009 and 2008.

The provision for income taxes was $106,000 for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 compared with a benefit of $82,000 and no provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2008. The provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2009 and 2008 was determined using our effective rate estimated for the entire fiscal year.

In addition, during 2009, we utilized certain federal net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards. We have provided valuation allowances related to the benefits from income taxes resulting from the application of a statutory tax rate to our NOL’s generated in previous periods. The allowances were established and maintained as a result of our history of losses from operations.

Note 10- Earnings Per Share

The Company computes net income per common share in accordance with FASB Statement of Financial Accounting Standard 128, Earnings per Share (“Statement 128”). Under the provisions of Statement 128, basic net income per common share is computed by dividing the net income applicable to common shares by weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per common share adjusts basic net income per common share for the effects of stock options, restricted stock and other potentially dilutive financial instruments only in the periods in which such effect is dilutive.

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

	Six Months Ended June 30,
	2009		2008

Net income (loss)	$	954,000	$	(704,000	)

Weighted average common shares- basic		32,332,963		31,224,025

Dilutive effect of employee incentive plans		139,055		-
Dilutive effect of warrants issued to consultants		120,107		-
Weighted average shares- diluted		32,592,125		31,224,025

Net income per common share:
Basic	$	0.03	$	(0.02	)
Diluted	$	0.03	$	(0.02	)

Potentially dilutive securities excluded from earnings per diluted share because their effect is anti-dilutive.

	Three Months Ended June 30,
	2009		2008

Net income (loss)	$	659,000	$	(1,166,000	)

Weighted average common shares- basic		32,361,325		31,805,228

Dilutive effect of employee incentive plans		145,526		-
Dilutive effect of warrants issued to consultants		138,513		-
Weighted average shares- diluted		32,645,364		31,805,228

Net income per common share:
Basic	$	0.02	$	(0.04	)
Diluted	$	0.02	$	(0.04	)

Potentially dilutive securities excluded from earnings per diluted share because their effect is anti-dilutive.

Note 11- Fair Value Measurements

The Company uses various inputs in determining the fair value of its investments and measures these assets on a recurring basis. Financial assets recorded at fair value in the consolidated balance sheets are categorized by the level of objectivity associated with the inputs used to measure their fair value. SFAS No. 157 defines the following levels directly related to the amount of subjectivity associated with the inputs to fair valuation of these financial assets:

Level 1 – quoted prices in active markets for identical investments

Level 2 – other significant observable inputs (including quoted prices for similar investments, market corroborated inputs, etc.)

Level 3 – significant unobservable inputs (including the Company’s own assumptions in determining the fair value of investments)

The inputs or methodology used for valuing securities are not necessarily an indication of the credit risk associated with investing in those securities. The following table provides the fair value measurements of applicable Company financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis according to the fair value levels defined by SFAS No. 157 as of June 30, 2009 and December 31, 2008.

	Financial Assets at Fair Value as of June 30, 2009
	Level 1		Level 2		Level 3		Total
	(in thousands)
Cash and cash equivalents	$	12,931	$	—	$	—	$	12,931
Short-term investments		13		—		—		13
Long-term investments		—		—		—		—
Total cash and cash equivalents and investments	$	12,944	$	—	$	—	$	12,944

	Financial Assets at Fair Value as of December 31, 2008

Short-term investments		13		—		—		13
Long-term investments		—		—		—		—

There were no unrealized gains or losses included in earnings resulting from long-term investments associated with Level 3 financial assets during the six month period ended June 30, 2009.

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