Explanatory Note

 

On January 31, 2013, Global Eagle Entertainment Inc. (f/k/a Global Eagle Acquisition Corp.) (the “Company”) completed the acquisition of Row 44, Inc. (“Row 44”) and 86% of the shares of Advanced Inflight Alliance AG (“AIA” and the transaction, the “Business Combination”). In connection with the Business Combination, the Company filed with the United States Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) a Current Report on Form 8-K on February 6, 2013 (the “Original 8-K”), as amended by Amendment No. 1 on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on March 18, 2013 (the “Amended 8-K”) and Amendment No. 2 on Form 8-K/A filed with the SEC on May 16, 2013. The Company is filing this Amendment No. 3 (this “Amendment”) to the Original 8-K, as previously amended, to include (i) revised audited financial statements as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2012 for Row 44 and (ii) restated audited financial statements as of December 31, 2012 and 2011 and for each of the years in the three-year period ended December 31, 2012 for AIA.

 

In connection with the Company’s quarter-end financial close process for the second quarter ended June 30, 2013, it identified immaterial adjustments related to the accounting for certain revenue and cost reimbursements of Row 44 for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, as well as the cumulative impact of these immaterial adjustments as of December 31, 2012. The immaterial adjustments resulted from revenue recognition pertaining to certain agreements containing multiple elements during the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, and certain cost reimbursements pertaining to the year ended December 31, 2012. The Company assessed the materiality of these adjustments on the financial statements of prior periods in accordance with the SEC's Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 99 “Materiality” and Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 108 “Considering the Effects of Prior Year Misstatements when Quantifying Misstatements in Current Year Financial Statement” (“SAB 108”) and concluded that the adjustments were not material to any prior annual periods, but the cumulative adjustment would likely be quantitatively material to the Company’s expected results of operations for the quarter ended June 30, 2013 if the entire adjustment was recorded in that period. Accordingly, the Company has revised Row 44’s statements of operations for the years ended December 31, 2012, 2011 and 2010, and the balance sheets for the years ended December 31, 2012 and 2011 to correct for these immaterial adjustments in accordance with SAB 108. These adjustments had no impact on the reported results from operations for any periods prior to the year ended December 31, 2010 or on the net cash flows from operating, investing or financing activities for any of the periods presented. The net effect on stockholders’ deficit is also immaterial for all periods presented.

 

In addition, AIA management identified an error with respect to the financial statements of AIA related to improper accounting for certain warrants acquired by AIA in fiscal year 2012 which impacted AIA’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012. AIA’s financial statements are prepared in accordance with International Financial Reporting Standards, as adopted by the European Union. The warrants qualify as derivatives under IAS 39 “Financial Instruments: Recognition and Measurement” and should have been separately recorded at fair value upon acquisition with any changes in fair value subsequently reported in earnings for the year ended December 31, 2012. As such, AIA determined that, under International Auditing Standards, it was required to restate its stand-alone financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2012 to properly account for such warrants. The restatement of AIA’s stand-alone financial statements did not impact the Company’s financial results for the year ended December 31, 2012, as the Company did not acquire any interest in AIA until January 31, 2013.

 

Except as described above, this Amendment does not modify or update disclosures in the Amended 8-K and does not reflect subsequent events occurring after the filing date of the Amended 8-K. Accordingly, this Amendment should be read in conjunction with the Amended 8-K, which continues to speak as of its filing date.
