Business History and Overview
On February 14, 2008, MailTec, Inc. (now known as Provision Holding, Inc.) (the "Company") entered into an Agreement and Plan of Merger, which was amended and restated on February 27, 2008 (as amended and restated, the "Agreement"), and closed effective February 28, 2008, with ProVision Merger Corp., a Nevada corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (the "Subsidiary") and Provision Interactive Technologies, Inc., a California corporation ("Provision"). Pursuant to the Agreement, the Subsidiary merged into Provision, and Provision became a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company. As consideration for the merger of the Subsidiary into Provision, the Company issued 20,879,350 shares of the Company's common stock to the shareholders, creditors, and certain warrant holders of Provision, representing approximately 86.5% of the Company's aggregate issued and outstanding common stock, and the outstanding shares and debt, and those warrants whose holders received shares of the Company's common stock, of Provision were transferred to the Company and cancelled.
The Company is focused on the development and distribution of Provision's patented three-dimensional, holographic interactive displays focused at grabbing and holding consumer attention particularly and initially in the advertising and product merchandising markets. The systems display a moving 3D image size to forty inches in front of the display, projecting a digital video image out into space detached from any screen, rendering truly independent floating images featuring high definition and crisp visibility from far distances. The nearest comparable to this technology can be seen in motion pictures such as Star Wars and Minority Report, where objects and humans are represented through full-motion holograms.
We are also developing and marketing several new point-of-purchase, and other devices, tailored to specific industries that are currently in Pilot Programs with major international companies or readying to begin shortly; including the medical, entertainment, government and home markets. In addition to selling the hardware for our patented three-dimensional, holographic interactive video displays, we are building our business into a digital media company offering advertising on a network of our 3D holographic video displays.
One of our new products is known as the "HL40 Diamond", an extraordinary 3D holographic video display system, to the retailing and advertising industries is smaller and lighter than its predecessor, the HL40C. Used to promote all type of products and services, the HL40D is a powerful tool to break through the clutter of traditional in store advertising and merchandising. Our other powerful 3D products can be used for a wide variety of interactive applications including order-taking and information retrieval.
Business Development
Launching our first products into grocery stores, we have developed a new patent pending application. Known as the "3DEO Rewards Center" or "3DEO", this ProVision device, also described as a kiosk or terminal, projects 3D video advertisements, promotions, and public service announcements; and allows consumers to print coupons as well as receive non-cash awards like sweepstakes. The 3DEO Rewards Center provides consumer product good ("CPG") companies, along with other brands, marketers and advertisers with a new way of promoting their products at the point of purchase, where consumers are making seventy percent of their buying decisions.
We tested our concept in Fred Meyer Stores, a division of The Kroger, Co., installing 3DEO Centers in the Pacific Northwest. We received advertising placements from some of the largest manufacturers in the country, including Unilever, Proctor & Gamble, Johnson & Johnson, BIC and Kimberly Clark. The manufacturers' will advertise through digital coupons that customers will receive from Provision's 3DEO Media Centers.
In August 2009, the Company announced an extremely successful market test with Unisys Japan, and its Japanese distribution partner. As reported by Unisys, Provision's 3DEO program resulted in "uncountable eye-catches "from various industries as the next generation of 3D digital signage." Earlier in the year, Provision was named as one of the Top 10 companies at Infocomm 2009 as a significant technology trend of the year. Provision was also honored by digital media giant, Scala, for the "most innovative installation" in 2008.
During 2009, Provision announced the addition of former Apple CEO and current AT&T Director, Gil Amelio, to their Advisory Board. Additionally, Digital Media Industry executive, Lyle Bunn, was also named to Provision's Advisory Board. Both of these additions have given the Company significant additional credibility in business, technology, and the digital media market.
We made two key announcements introducing Provision's strategic alliances and partnerships with IBM, Microsoft, and Intel. As an Intel Capital portfolio company, Provision's CEO, Curt Thornton, was invited to speak at the CEO forum held both in 2008 and 2009, sharing the Company's 3D holographic product line, market launch, and company strategy to over 200 global CEO's in attendance.
We plan to build, own, and operate networks of 3DEO Rewards Centers. In March 2008 we signed three-year agreements with several independent Hispanic grocery store chains to install 3DEO Reward Centers in 47 locations in southern California. In September 2008, we signed an agreement with the Long Island Gasoline Retailers Association ("LIGRA") to install its patented 3D holographic displays in up to 800 member stores throughout New York. Provision's displays will be located inside the independent convenience stores of major franchise gasoline retailers including Shell, ExxonMobil, Citgo, Sunoco, BP, Amoco and Gulf. As of September 30, 2009 the Company has announced a total of 1086 retail locations with signed contracts, with additional retail locations pending announcement.
We signed a five-year agreement with ADCENTRICITY, Inc. to sell advertising on our digital signage network. We also signed a letter of intent with LocalAdLink to support our local and regional advertising sales.
We will require significant additional funds to complete our business development. We cannot be certain that funding will be available on acceptable terms, or at all. To the extent that we raise additional funds by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience significant dilution. Any debt financing, if available, may involve restrictive covenants that impact our ability to conduct our business. If we are unable to raise additional capital on acceptable terms, or at all, we may have to significantly delay, scale back or discontinue the development and/or commercialization of one or more of our product candidates, restrict our operations or obtain funds by entering into agreements on unattractive terms.
We have a limited operating history upon which an investor can evaluate our business prospects, which makes it difficult to forecast our future operating results, in light of the risks, uncertainties and problems frequently encountered by companies with limited operating histories. These include, but are not limited to, competition, the need to develop customers and market expertise, market conditions, sales, and marketing and governmental regulation.
Research and Development
Research and Development Activities
At present, Provision's patents and patent applications are supplemented by substantial intellectual property we are currently protecting as trade secrets and proprietary know-how. This includes matter related to all three product lines. We expect to file additional patent applications on a regular basis in the future.
During 2009 the Company has announced several new patents issued including the U.S. and China. Provision also filed six new patents in the European Union, further protecting its intellectual property globally.
Provision announced and demonstrated its first and second generation interactive, gesture-recognition based technologies integrated with its 3D holographic displays at the Intel Developer Forum and the National Retail Federation Expo. The significance of this gesture recognition interactive technology allows consumers and users of the 3D displays to "touch" and manipulate the holographic video images in real-time, therefore providing an immersive, engaging experience with an immediate call-to-action for the consumer, and benefiting the retailer and advertiser. In September 2009 the Company announced and demonstrated its latest development program with the University of Tokyo to bring in "feel" or "touchability" to Provision's 3D holographic video images.
The Company introduced its newest product to the marketplace earlier in the year. Called the HL17 Micro Diamond, replacing the current HL17T, the Micro Diamond is half the size of the traditional HL17T weighs only 18 pounds.
While not remaining complacent with its current technology platform being launched into the Digital Out-Of-Home advertising markets, the Company seized the opportunity to begin the development of a 3D Consumer Product. The new consumer product will be the first of its kind and will exponentially expand the reach of Provision's cutting edge technology. The "out-of-the-box, plug-and-play" 3D display will ultimately be targeted as a high volume product for the home game market. The 3D display will be designed to be completely compatible with the most popular game consoles on the market, and priced accordingly. The new 3D consumer product will also ultimately benefit Provision's market-leading, retail partners. The Company plans on applying its successful consumer development solutions to its DOOH products, providing partners with products that are lower cost, lighter weight, and have futuristic industrial design
We believe that Provision's intellectual property and expertise constitutes an important competitive resource, and we continue to evaluate the markets and products that are most appropriate to exploit this expertise. In addition, we maintain an active program of intellectual property protection, both to assure that the proprietary technology developed by us is appropriately protected and, where necessary, to assure that there is no infringement of Provision's proprietary technology by competitive technologies.

We rely on a combination of patent, patent pending, copyright, trademark and
trade secret laws, proprietary rights agreements and non-disclosure agreements
to protect our intellectual properties. We cannot give any assurance that these
measures will prove to be effective in protecting our intellectual properties.
We also cannot give any assurance that our existing patents will not be
invalidated, that any patents that we currently or prospectively apply for will
be granted, or that any of these patents will ultimately provide significant
commercial benefits. Further, competing companies may circumvent any patents
that we may hold by developing products which closely emulate but do not
infringe our patents. While we intend to seek patent protection for our
products in selected foreign countries, those patents may not receive the same
degree of protection as they would in the United States. We can give no
assurance that we will be able to successfully defend our patents and
proprietary rights in any action we may file for patent infringement.
Similarly, we cannot give any assurance that we will not be required to defend
against litigation involving the patents or proprietary rights of others, or
that we will be able to obtain licenses for these rights. Legal and accounting
costs relating to prosecuting or defending patent infringement litigation may be
substantial.
We also rely on proprietary designs, technologies, processes and know-how not eligible for patent protection. We cannot give any assurance that our competitors will not independently develop the same or superior designs, technologies, processes and know-how.
While we have and will continue to enter into proprietary rights agreements with our employees and third parties giving us proprietary rights to certain technology developed by those employees or parties while engaged by us, we can give no assurance that courts of competent jurisdiction will enforce those agreements.

Revenue and Cost of Revenue
Revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2009 decreased 80% to $54,419 from $266,327 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. Included in revenues for the three months ended September 30, 2009 is $52,500 from the sale of our product coming from international distributors and the beginning shipment of our Studio One purchase agreement as well as $1,389 in advertising revenues. These international product sales came in from countries including Japan and Europe. The Company has announced additional sales to its Japanese distributor supporting the test of the Company's products by Unisys, as well as recent shipments to the U.K. to its distributor who is working with Samsung. Advertising sales are expected to increase as the Company continues its roll out of its 3D Reward Center in the large top demographic markets of Los Angeles (#2) and New York (#1).We have entered into several agreements with media buying agencies and ad agencies to assist in the selling of 3D holographic ads and coupon promotions; expecting to continue the growth of ad sales on a quarter by quarter basis.
Our cost of revenues were $22,047 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 as compared to $129,323 for the three months ended September 30, 2008. This decrease of $107,276 or 83% is a direct result of our decreased revenues as well as the increase in advertising revenue which carries no cost of revenue.
We had a gross profit percentage of 59% for the three months ended September 30, 2009 compared to a gross profit percentage of 51% for the three months ended September 30, 2008. The increase in gross margin percentage was a result of a change in our sales mixture to higher margin items, increase in some sales prices to certain regional, retail customers, along with our additional advertising revenues. As discussed above, we expect advertising revenues to increase in the coming quarters as the Company begins to roll out its 3D Reward Center in the large top demographic markets of Los Angeles (#2) and New York (#1).
Expenses
General and administrative expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2009 were $473,712 as compared to $440,301 for the three months ended September 30, 2008.
During the three months ended September 30, 2009 our marketing expense decreased $43,488 to $2,578 for the three months ended September 30, 2009 from $46,066 during the three months ended September 30, 2008. The decrease in our marketing expenses was due to our decision to not reorder approximately $60,000 of marketing materials that were ordered and used during the year ended June 30, 2008. Our accounting fees decreased $82,055 to $23,600 during the three months ended September 30, 2009 from $105,655 during the three months ended September 30, 2008. This decrease in accounting fees is directly related to our financial statement audit for the year ended June 30, 2008 as well as the requirement for quarterly reviewed financial statements to fulfill our filing requirements with the Securities and Exchange Commission. These decreases in expenses were partially offset by an increase of $153,481 in non-cash compensation to $189,794 during the three months ended September 30, 2009 from $36,313 during the three months ended September 30, 2008. Non-cash compensation relates to the value of common stock, warrants and options issued in exchange for services rendered. While we cannot guarantee it, we do not expect our non-cash compensation to continue this level of increase in the near future. Our consulting expenses increased $25,625 to $35,625 during the three months ended September 30, 2009 from $10,000 during the three months ended September 30, 2008. Additionally, our salaries and wages increased $20,018 to $113,300 during the three months ended September 30, 2009 from $93,282 during the three months ended September 30, 2008.
During the three months ended September 30, 2009 we recorded $46,580 of research and development expenses as compared to $33,971 during the three months ended September 30, 2008. Research and development expenses relate to the salary paid to two key employees who conduct ongoing technical engineering tasks for product improvements, cost reductions, new product development, and the like.
Other Income (Expense)
Interest expense increased 254% to $604,350 during the three months ended September 30, 2009 from $170,887 during the three months ended September 30, 2008. The increase is directly related to the increase in the beneficial conversion feature interest expense related to the issuance of new debt and the discount the note holder experiences.
During the three months ended September 30, 2008 we recorded $3,000 unrealized loss of securities as we revalued the carrying value of our investment in corporate stock held.
Net Loss
As a result of the aforementioned, our net loss increased 114% or $581,115, to $1,092,270 during the three months ended September 30, 2009 from $511,155 during the three months ended September 30, 2008.
Financial Condition, Liquidity and Capital Resources
Management remains focused on controlling cash expenses. We have limited cash resources and plan our expenses accordingly.
We had cash of $-0- at September 30, 2009 compared to cash of $19,339 at June 30, 2009. Our working capital deficit increased to 3,474,514 at September 30, 2009 from a deficit of $2,543,076 at June 30, 2009. The reason for the increase in the working capital deficit was the increase in current portion of convertible debt of approximately $710,000.
During the three months ended September 30, 2009, we used $76,339 of cash for operating activities versus $304,680 during the three months ended September 30, 2008. The primary differences were the stock issued for services during the three months ended September 30, 2009 in the amount of $187,794 along with the amortization of the debt discount in the amount of $503,669 and the increase in accounts payable and accrued expenses in the amount of $139,562. These amounts were partially offset by the increase in the net loss of $581,115.
Cash used in investing activities during the three months ended September 30, 2009 and 2008 was $-0- and $43,078, respectively. During the three months ended September 30, 2008 we used $39,772 to purchase equipment and $3,306 to purchase patents.
Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended September 30, 2009 was $57,000 as a result of the proceeds from notes payable net of fees. Cash provided by financing activities during the three months ended September 30, 2008 was $313,450 as a result of the proceeds from notes payable, net of fees.
We are subject to the risks arising from adverse changes in domestic and global economic conditions. Uncertainty about future economic conditions makes it difficult for us to forecast operating results and to make decisions about future investments. For example, the direction and relative strength of the global economy has recently been increasingly uncertain due to softness in the residential real estate and mortgage markets, volatility in fuel and other energy costs, difficulties in the financial services sector and credit markets, continuing geopolitical uncertainties and other macroeconomic factors affecting spending behavior. If economic growth in the United States continues to be slowed, or if other adverse general economic changes occur or continue, many potential customers may delay or reduce technology purchases and advertising and marketing spending. This could result in reductions in sales of our products and a delay in launching our advertising network.
Given our plans and expectation that we will need additional capital, we will need to issue additional shares of capital stock or securities convertible or exercisable for shares of capital stock, including preferred stock, options or warrants. We have no committed source of financing. Wherever possible, our Board of Directors will attempt to use non-cash consideration to satisfy obligations. In many instances, we believe that the non-cash consideration will consist of restricted shares of our common stock. These actions will result in dilution of the ownership interests of existing shareholders.
No cash dividends have been paid on our common stock. We expect that any income received from operations will be devoted to our future operations and growth. We do not expect to pay cash dividends in the near future. Payment of dividends would depend upon our profitability at the time, cash available for those dividends, and other factors as our board of directors may consider relevant. If we do not pay dividends, our common stock may be less valuable because a return on an investor's investment will only occur if our stock price appreciates.
Off Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not engage in any off balance sheet arrangements that are reasonably likely to have a current or future effect on our financial condition, revenues, results of operations, and liquidity or capital expenditures.
Use of Estimates - The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make certain estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts and timing of revenues and expenses, the reported amounts and classification of assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. These estimates and assumptions are based on the Company's historical results as well as management's future expectations. The Company's actual results could vary materially from management's estimates and assumptions.
Revenue Recognition - We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, title transfer has occurred, the price is fixed or readily determinable, and collectability is probable. We recognize revenue in accordance with Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 104, "Revenue Recognition." Sales are recorded net of sales returns and discounts, which are estimated at the time of shipment based upon historical data.
Impairment of Long-Lived Assets - We review the recoverability of the carrying value of long-lived assets using the methodology prescribed in SFAS No. 144, "Accounting for the Impairment and Disposal of Long-Lived Assets" whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. Upon such an occurrence, recoverability of these assets is determined by comparing the forecasted undiscounted net cash flows to which the assets relate, to the carrying amount. If the asset is determined to be unable to recover its carrying value, it is written down to fair value. Fair value is determined based on discounted cash flows, appraised values or other information available in the market, depending on the nature of the assets. Methodologies for determining fair value are inherently based on estimates that may change, such as the useful lives of assets and our cash flow forecasts . . .
